SaaS T&Cswith expert lawyers

SaaS stands for software as a service. If your business develops software and offers it to customers online as a service, it may be considered SaaS and you may need terms and conditions tailored to your business.

SaaS Terms and Conditions set out the terms on which users can access your software. In other words, users need to agree to your terms before they can use your software.

These terms should generally limit your liability, set rules for users and provide other important online protections.

Yes, having an End User Licence Agreement (EULA) is important if you offer software as a service online. A EULA can protect you by setting out the rules under which users can access your platform, including when it is downloaded onto their device.

This can help protect the parties involved from a range of online risks.

Data privacy is something businesses should consider early on, especially if they operate mainly online. Users who access your site or use your software will likely need to share certain data, which means you may have obligations to protect that data. These obligations are set out in the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APP), which outline a number of privacy rules for businesses in Australia.
