Technology contract drafting
Contracts for the Digital Economy.
Your code is your asset. Regent Legal prepares SaaS, app, development and managed service agreements that set ownership, service levels and liability out in plain English.
Software ownership
Data protection
Clear service levels
Practical documents for digital work
Agreements We Draft for Tech Companies
The right document depends on how your software is built, sold and supported. Start with the commercial relationship, then make the detail fit the way you operate.
Development contracts
A software development contract can cover milestones, acceptance testing, revisions, code delivery and responsibility for defects.
Discuss a buildApp terms of use
Give app users clear rules on accounts, content, suspension, payments, liability and acceptable behaviour.
Shape app termsWebsite development
A website development contract can define scope, content, hosting, handover, revisions and ownership of the finished site.
Set the scopeManaged IT services
An IT managed service agreement can settle response times, maintenance windows, escalation and exit arrangements.
Define supportSecurity and data documents
Use cybersecurity NDAs and data processing agreements to control confidential information, access and incident duties.
Protect sensitive work
Ownership before delivery
Intellectual Property is Everything
A handover is not the same as an assignment. Your contract should say who owns source code, documentation, designs, tools and later improvements.
Make ownership clear before the first commit.
Code assignment
Cover developers, contractors and employees, including when rights pass and what must be delivered.
Licensing control
Set limits on copying, resale, user numbers, territory and access to your technology.
Open-source review
Record responsibilities for open-source licences and flag obligations that affect distribution.
Derivative work
Deal with customisations, plug-ins, updates and improvements made after launch.
Digital data checklist
Built around the services you provide
- Data processing terms for SaaS providers
- Security duties and breach notification steps
- Safeguards for cross-border data transfers
- Privacy notices and cookie policy links
Data protection for digital services
GDPR-Ready Clauses for Digital Services
Your agreement should match the data your platform handles. We set out processor duties, security controls, incident communications and the practical steps for ending access.
Clear duties reduce slow decisions when an incident happens.
Performance written into the deal
Service Levels and Maintenance
A support promise needs measurable terms. We turn broad expectations into response windows, escalation routes and sensible exit steps.
Small details matter at 2am.
Availability commitments
Define uptime, planned maintenance and the events that sit outside the calculation.
Uptime measured against an agreed reporting period
Response and escalation
Set incident categories, response times, reporting duties and who takes the next call.
Severity levels linked to practical response steps
Updates and maintenance
Cover version updates, maintenance windows, change notices and compatibility responsibilities.
Change control matched to the service you provide
Termination and handover
Deal with notice, data return, transition assistance, account closure and continuing confidentiality.
A defined route out protects both sides

Tech Agreement FAQs
Good drafting starts with the way your product actually works. These are the questions we hear most often.
Do I need separate terms for my app and website?
Often, yes. An app may need account, device, store and in-app payment terms that do not apply to a marketing website. The documents can still link together.
How do I protect my source code?
Use assignment and confidentiality clauses, control repository access, and state what happens to code, credentials, documentation and tools when the work ends.
What is a data processing agreement?
It records how a processor handles personal data for a controller. It usually covers instructions, security, sub-processors, assistance, breaches and deletion or return.
Can you draft an NDA for a cybersecurity firm?
Yes. The NDA can identify technical information, testing access, reports, vulnerabilities, permitted disclosures and the controls expected during the engagement.
What about open-source licences?
The contract can assign responsibility for licence records, notices and compliance checks. It can also explain how open-source components sit alongside your proprietary code.
