SaaS Agreement Review Checklist
20 points in-house legal and procurement teams should check before signing

A practical second-pass review

Use the checklist alongside the draft MSA, order form, DPA and SLA. It is designed to help identify the points that deserve deliberate legal or commercial attention before signature.

Each review point can be assigned a Red / Amber / Green status and used to capture the issue that needs to be negotiated or internally accepted.

The checklist does not prescribe a single contractual position. What is acceptable will depend on the service, data, operational dependency, contract value and risk profile.

What the checklist covers

  • Scope and commercial mechanics
  • Availability, support and resilience
  • Privacy, cybersecurity and AI use
  • Liability, insurance and IP
  • Audit, suspension, termination and exit
