Five key issues to watch in tech contracts

Liability
Caps, exclusions, indemnities. These points must be calibrated carefully, especially in SaaS agreements.

Personal data
Controller and processor obligations, and proper safeguards for transfers outside the EU.

Intellectual property
Who owns what, including developed code, training data, and improvements.

Exit and reversibility
Termination conditions, data portability, timeframes, and output formats. This is often overlooked at signature stage.

Governing law and jurisdiction
These choices are not neutral, especially in cross-border B2C contracts.

Frequently asked questions

My SaaS contracts are in English. Can you work on them?

Yes. PSL Avocat works in English, French, and Spanish. Most international tech contracts are drafted in English, and this is a working standard handled on a daily basis.

We use standard templates. Is that enough?

Standard templates cover general cases. They do not reflect your specific revenue model, core business, risk profile, target markets, or regulatory constraints. A focused review and targeted adaptation are usually advisable before using them in live negotiations or key commercial relationships.

Do you handle contracts with counterparties outside the EU?

Yes. My contract practice covers agreements involving US and Asian organisations, as well as international institutions. The choice of governing law, jurisdiction, or arbitration mechanism is part of the analysis.
