I review SaaS agreements so you do not sign away your data, IP, or exit rights.
Vendor SaaS agreements, enterprise software contracts, data processing addendums, SLA enforcement. I flag auto-renewals, unlimited liability, IP assignment traps, data lock-in, and termination gotchas before you sign.
Ask my AI Legal Analyst about your SaaS agreement
Tell me about the deal and your role (vendor or customer) and I will flag the clauses that actually hurt and point you to the right tier: the $240 Written Attorney Consultation for issue-spotting, or the $575 Create or Redline for a full tracked-changes redline. A full written attorney evaluation of your contract is the $240 consultation, not this chat. AI-generated legal information, not legal advice.
$240 Written Attorney Consultation: I read one SaaS agreement (up to 30 pages) and send a written attorney response identifying the main risks, leverage points, and practical next steps, with a two business-day turnaround. No redrafting at this tier. $575 Create or Redline: I review the contract clause by clause and deliver tracked-changes redlines plus a clean recommended version, with up to three rounds of email revisions. The site minimum is $575 for a full redline.
A full clause-by-clause review of one business contract (your MSA, DPA, SLA, ToS, or Privacy Policy as applicable), tracked-changes redlines, a clean recommended version, and replacement language for the points that matter (liability caps, IP ownership, data return, audit rights). Up to three rounds of email revisions are included. Unusually long or complex matters, multi-document SaaS stacks, or extended vendor negotiation bill at $240 per hour overflow.
Auto-renewal traps with short exit windows, unlimited or uncapped liability, indemnification scope and carve-outs, IP assignment clauses that hand the vendor rights to your data or derived insights, data lock-in and portability gaps, SLA uptime and credit enforceability, termination penalties and data-return obligations, overbroad audit rights, and DPA gaps under CCPA/CPRA and GDPR (breach notification, subprocessor disclosure, deletion timelines).
Yes. I review DPAs for CCPA/CPRA and GDPR compliance, breach notification timelines, data deletion and return commitments, subprocessor disclosure and flow-down, security controls, and cross-border transfer mechanisms. A DPA-only read fits the $240 Written Attorney Consultation; a full SaaS stack (DPA plus MSA and SLA) with redlines fits the $575 Create or Redline tier.
Written Attorney Consultation: two business days from receipt. Create or Redline: usually 3 to 5 business days from receipt of the agreement and any context. Rush 24 to 48 hour turnaround may be available for an added fee on either tier; email the agreement first and I will confirm rush feasibility before you pay.
Yes. The $400 1-Hour Attorney Strategy Session is a one-hour Zoom with screen share and a preliminary review of the key documents you submit beforehand. It is the right fit when you want to walk through the deal and negotiation strategy live rather than receive a written response or a redline.

What a SaaS agreement review actually looks like
These are anonymized examples from recent client work. Every review is done by me personally, not by AI and not by a paralegal.
$180K/yr CRM contract with unlimited liability and auto-renewal
Flagged 7 high-risk clauses including uncapped indemnification, unilateral price increases, and 90-day auto-renewal buried in definitions. Negotiated liability cap and 60-day exit notice.
AWS/GCP custom enterprise agreement
Identified data portability gaps and SLA credit calculation issues. DPA lacked breach notification timelines and data deletion commitments. Got vendor to add data export guarantees.
$45K annual marketing platform
Found IP assignment clause that gave vendor perpetual rights to customer data insights and analytics. Removed it before signing and added data ownership carve-out.
HRIS platform processing employee PII
Flagged CCPA/GDPR compliance gaps in DPA. No breach notification requirements, vague subprocessor disclosure, and no data deletion timeline. Got vendor to add breach notification and deletion commitments.
Issues I flag in SaaS agreements
Every SaaS agreement is different, but these are the areas where I consistently find risk that clients did not expect.
How it works
Send me the SaaS agreement
Email the agreement as PDF, Word, or even a photo. Tell me your concerns and what you are trying to accomplish with this vendor.
I confirm scope and timeline
I reply with the recommended tier, the flat fee, and the turnaround time. No work starts until you approve.
I review every clause
You get a marked-up copy with risks highlighted, replacement language where needed, and a plain-English explanation of what matters for SaaS contracts.
I walk you through next steps
I explain what to push back on and how. If you need the clauses rewritten for vendor negotiation, I handle that in the Create or Redline tier with up to three rounds of email-based revisions.
Do not sign a SaaS agreement until an attorney reads the fine print
Send me the agreement. I will confirm the right tier, the fee, and what I need from you.

700+ reviews on Upwork
"Sergei reviewed a complex enterprise SaaS agreement and caught several issues I would have missed. He flagged the auto-renewal clause hidden in the definitions, identified unlimited liability exposure, and provided redlines for the DPA that brought it into GDPR compliance. Worth every penny."
"I needed a quick turnaround on a SaaS contract before our board meeting. Sergei delivered a full review in 48 hours with clear negotiation guidance. He identified data portability gaps and SLA credit calculation issues we would have never caught. Highly recommend."
"Fast, thorough, and practical. Sergei identified an IP assignment clause that would have given the vendor rights to our customer data. He provided replacement language we sent back to the vendor, and they accepted it without pushback. Great experience."
Frequently asked questions about SaaS agreement review
What is the difference between the two flat-fee tiers?
Written Attorney Consultation ($240): I read the SaaS agreement (up to 30 pages), identify the highest-risk clauses, and send a written attorney evaluation with plain-English risk summary and CCPA/CPRA, DPA, and SLA issues flagged. Two business day turnaround. No redrafting at this tier. Create or Redline Existing Contract ($575): I review every clause across the MSA, DPA, SLA, ToS, and Privacy Policy as applicable, flag all risks, check CCPA/CPRA and data processing compliance, and deliver redlined edits plus a clean recommended version. Includes up to three rounds of email-based revisions. Unusual scope (multi-document SaaS stacks with MSA + DPA + SLA + ToS + Privacy Policy together, extended vendor negotiation, multi-jurisdictional analysis) is billed at $240 per hour.
Do you review enterprise SaaS agreements?
Yes. I review vendor SaaS agreements, enterprise software contracts, MSAs, data processing addendums (DPAs), service level agreements (SLAs), Terms of Service, Privacy Policies, security exhibits, and custom platform deals. If it is a subscription software agreement, I can review it.
What SaaS agreement issues do you flag?
I flag auto-renewal traps, unlimited liability exposure, indemnification caps and carve-outs, IP ownership and assignment clauses that give vendors rights to customer data or derived insights, data lock-in and portability gaps, SLA uptime calculation and credit enforceability, termination penalties and data return obligations, overbroad audit rights, and DPA gaps under CCPA/CPRA and GDPR including breach notification, subprocessor disclosure, and deletion timelines.
Can you help negotiate the SaaS agreement?
Yes. The $575 Create or Redline tier includes redlined replacement language you can send directly to the vendor or vendor counsel, plus negotiation guidance explaining which points are worth pushing on for SaaS deals. Up to three rounds of email-based revisions are included at the flat fee. If you need me to engage directly with the vendor's attorney by email, that can be arranged at $240 per hour.
How long does a SaaS agreement review take?
Written Attorney Consultation: 2 business days from receipt. Create or Redline Existing Contract: usually 3-5 business days from receipt of the agreement and any context, depending on length and complexity. Rush 24-48 hour turnaround may be available for an added fee on either tier. Email the agreement first and I will confirm rush feasibility before you pay. If a complex matter genuinely needs more time, I will tell you up front.
Do you review data processing addendums (DPAs)?
Yes. I review DPAs for CCPA/CPRA and GDPR compliance, breach notification timelines, data deletion and return commitments, subprocessor disclosure and flow-down obligations, security controls, and international data transfer mechanisms. DPA-only reviews fit the $240 written attorney consultation; full SaaS contract stacks with DPA plus MSA and SLA fit the $575 Create or Redline tier.
