Saas Agreement
Selling software as a service means your agreement is your product's legal wrapper — subscription terms, uptime commitments, data handling, and liability. We draft SaaS agreements that protect you and read clearly enough that enterprise procurement doesn't stall on them.

Overview
What this agreement actually covers
A SaaS agreement is the contract under which customers subscribe to your cloud software — it is a licence plus service terms, not a sale.
It defines the subscription: plans, user counts, fees, billing cycles, and what happens on upgrade, downgrade, or non-renewal.
Service levels (uptime commitments, support response times, remedies for failure) are typically included or referenced.
Data protection is central: how customer data is handled, stored, secured, and returned or deleted at termination — aligned with India's DPDP Act.
IP, confidentiality, liability caps, and termination provisions complete the framework.
Benefits
Why SaaS businesses get this drafted through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Subscription economics protected
Auto-renewal, price-change rights, and non-payment suspension are drafted so your recurring revenue is legally secure.
SLAs that are honest and holdable
We draft uptime and support commitments you can actually meet — with credits, not open-ended liability, as the remedy.
Data protection built in
DPDP Act-aligned data processing terms, security commitments, and breach-notification provisions are included by default.
Enterprise-procurement friendly
We draft terms that survive enterprise legal review — clear liability caps, sensible indemnities, and audit provisions.
Documents
What documents do you need for a SaaS Agreement?
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.

Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
SaaS Agreement process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
Map the product and data flow
We study how customers use the software and what data it processes. Under India's DPDP Act, 2023, how you collect, store, and use personal data must be reflected in the agreement.
We draft the agreement
Our lawyers draft the SaaS agreement covering licence grant, subscription and fees, acceptable use, data protection and security, IP ownership, confidentiality, service levels, warranties, limitation of liability, term, termination, and dispute resolution. First draft typically takes 4-5 working days.
Negotiate the risk allocation
Enterprise customers focus on data security, liability caps, and termination rights. We help you hold a defensible position without losing deals.
DPDP and IT Act compliance check
We align the agreement with the DPDP Act, 2023 and the IT Act, 2000 — consent, data principal rights, breach notification, and cross-border transfer rules.
Execution and versioning
The agreement is executed on stamp paper or accepted as click-wrap terms, depending on your sales model. We advise on version control for future updates.

For NRI founders & foreign investors
If a founder or investor is outside India
You don't need to fly down. Most of our foreign-founder incorporations are completed without the founder ever visiting India — 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors, and the entire process happens online.
Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation
- Receive funds through permitted banking channels
- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early

A traditional licence sells usage rights; SaaS is an ongoing subscription to a hosted service. The SaaS agreement adds service levels, data terms, and subscription mechanics that licences don't need.
Data processing terms are typically included in the SaaS agreement itself; enterprise customers sometimes want a standalone DPA. We draft both.
Only what your infrastructure actually delivers. We help you pick an honest SLA (99.5%, 99.9%) with service credits as the remedy.
Typically 5–7 working days for the agreement plus SLA schedule.
The agreement defines it — typically termination for convenience at renewal, and for cause anytime. We draft the balance that suits your model.
The agreement provides a retrieval window followed by deletion, with certification. We draft this per DPDP requirements.
Yes, but proportionate. We draft a clean standard agreement sized to an early-stage SaaS, not an enterprise tome.
