Software in the Cloud and Common Issues in Contract Negotiations
VLP Law Group has posted an on-demand webinar discussing cloud-based software solutions and provide a comprehensive look at contracts for cloud-based software solutions vs. traditional EULAs, including data provisions and issues, SLA/Support provisions and issues and other typical provisions and issues in contracts and negotiations for cloud-based solutions.
VLP Law Group says on its webiste that the use of cloud-based solutions for delivery of software applications is growing rapidly due to advantages such as the ability to reduce IT operational costs by outsourcing the hardware and software maintenance and support to the vendor of the cloud-based solution, and to simplify the process of updating/upgrading the software.
“The discussion will focus on these key differences between cloud-based software solutions and traditional software licensing models, and the ways in which those differences manifest themselves in the contract between the software vendor and its customer and in contract negotiations,” the firm says. “The presentation will address contractual provisions that are unique to cloud-based software solutions, as well as the ways in which contractual provisions that are common to traditional software license agreements need to be looked at differently in the context of a cloud-based solution.”
