Vendor and supplier agreement review

Software, agencies, and outsourced services — pricing, data, uptime, and exit terms.

What you are buying

Confirm product name, user limits, support hours, and implementation scope. Vague service descriptions make disputes harder later.

Price and renewal

Note setup fees, billing cycle, annual uplift clauses, and auto-renewal windows. Put opt-out dates in your calendar when you sign.

Data location and security

Where is data stored, who can access it, and is there a data-processing agreement if personal data is involved?

Service levels and remedies

Check uptime commitments, support response times, and whether credits or refunds apply when the vendor misses targets.

Leaving the service

Minimum term, notice to cancel, data export format, and any fees for early termination.
