Privacy Policy
New York
When do you recommend I draft a custom Privacy Policy for my site?
I downloaded a free privacy policy and we are starting to get more users on our site. I am not sure when I would need to draft something custom.
Ema T.
The Privacy Policy should be located on your website from the moment your website is "up in the air" therefore it is recommended to contact a lawyer to draft it at least 2 weeks prior to the launching of the website. The privacy policy provides information to visitors of the website on the operators of the website collect, use, store and protect the personal data of the visitors. Personal data can be information provided by the users (personal and financial is most common) or information collected automatically such as IP. Each privacy policy should be tailored to the specific website or app. Any information provided as an answer to these questions does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship between the attorney and anyone in relation to any information provided under the Q & A section of this website. it is being used because the exact content of the privacy policy is dependent upon the function of the site that it relates to, the information it gathered, and how it is being used. An important note about PP is that certain countries and states have specific rules regarding the use of their residence data and those should be addressed in your PP if you are planning to operate in these areas.

Software Agreement
Connecticut
Software agreement legal requirements?
I am a software developer who recently entered into an agreement with a client. I am unsure if my agreement meets the legal requirements for software agreements. I want to make sure that the agreement is legally sound and that I am protected from any potential disputes or legal issues that may arise from the agreement.
Thomas L.
I would be happy to review the agreement and offer you advice.

SaaS Agreement
Connecticut
SaaS agreement and customizations?
I recently started a software as a service (SaaS) business and I am looking for legal advice related to SaaS agreements and customizations. I need to understand what is legally required in order to customize my SaaS offering for my customers and ensure that I am in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. I am also looking for advice on how to structure my SaaS agreement to ensure that my customers are adequately protected.
Thomas L.
SaaS agreements are not specifically regulated by law. Thus the principal issue is financial responsibility for outages, loss of data, and failure to meet transaction rate requirements.

Privacy Policy
New York
Does my Privacy Policy need to address the CCPA?
I have a website and we have customers from across the US.
Ema T.
If you are planning to operate in California, USA it is recomended to address the CCPA. California is the first state in the US to enact a state statute addressing the privacy rights of the state residents (but it is estimated that other states will follow). The CCPA provides specific rights for users located in CA, those include the right to know what personal data is being collected, whether this data is disclosed or sold to any 3rd party, (and to disagree to the sale), the right to access their personal data, request a deletion of their information, and more. These rights should be addressed in your privacy policy and contain additional sections and information laid out for CA residents. Any information provided as an answer to these questions does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship between the attorney and anyone in relation to any information provided under the Q & A section of this website.

Is a SaaS agreement a license?
I have a SaaS business and am wondering if this can be used as a software license as well. We have a terms of service and privacy policy for our website, but we don't have a standalone SaaS agreement we use with customers. I think we need some sort of software license for enterprise customers, but I'm not sure. Is a SaaS agreement the same as a software license? Can a company like me just operate under Terms of Service?
Octavia P.
This is a great question as many business SaaS providers are confused about SaaS agreements and if they are the same as a software license. There is indeed a difference between a SaaS agreement and a software license. The main difference is that a software license provides a customer the right to tangible products or services that are delivered in some format. In contrast a SaaS does not deliver products or services since the software and platform remain with the provider. As a result, a SaaS promises the customer access and use of the provider’s cloud services remotely via the internet or private network. When SaaS is being provided to enterprises or B2B clients, for their internal business purposes, providers will often use a master SaaS agreement that can be negotiated and signed.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
