SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

SaaS subscription agreements often hide expensive exposure in renewal mechanics, price escalation, data exit, SLAs, and UK GDPR sub-processor terms, which can compound over time and make switching difficult.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SaaS-specific subscription overlay: Reviews the deal terms that most commonly drive real-world loss, including auto-renewal notice windows, renewal pricing mechanics, data portability and exit obligations, SLA uptime/remedies, sub-processor change controls under UK GDPR Article 28, and service deprecation/change rights.
  • Dual-severity negotiation signal: Flags findings with both legal risk (critical to low) and business friction (deal-stopping to invisible) using the repo’s playbook framework.
  • Integration with the standard vendor-agreement playbook: Runs the general vendor-agreement review first, then adds SaaS-specific checks and a tailored outputs memo structure for a solicitor or barrister review.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to review the SaaS agreement and produce a UK-focused vendor-agreement review memo with a SaaS-specific findings section, including auto-renewal, price escalation, data exit, SLA/UCTA interaction, UK GDPR sub-processors, and service change/deprecation terms.
