About this title

Synopsis

The Tech Contracts Handbook is a practical, user-friendly reference manual and training guide on cloud computing agreements, software licenses, and other IT contracts. It's a clause-by-clause "how to" resource, covering the issues at stake and offering negotiation tips and sample contract language.

The Handbook is for both lawyers and businesspeople -- including contract managers, procurement officers, in-house and outside counsel, salespeople, and anyone else responsible for getting IT deals done. Perhaps, most important, it uses clear, simple English, like a good contract.

Topics covered include:

• Software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscriptions
• Software licensing (copyright licensing, etc.)
• Warranties and service level agreements (SLA's)
• Data security and privacy
• Indemnities
• Disaster recovery (DR)
• Non-competes
• Limitations of liability
• Clickwraps
• Open source software
• Nondisclosure agreements (NDA's) and confidentiality
• Technology escrow
• Internet and e-commerce contracts
• And much more ...
