India · SaaS Companies and Startups
Terms of service, subscription contracts, enterprise agreements, data processing terms, and the fundraising and IP documentation a SaaS business actually needs, drafted by a legal team that understands how software companies operate.
B2B or B2C, self-serve or enterprise sales, what data you collect, share the details and we’ll come back with a clear scope and fixed fee.
A subscription business model, customer data at scale, enterprise buyers with their own procurement requirements, and IP that’s entirely digital, SaaS companies run into legal questions that a general commercial lawyer doesn’t handle day to day. This page is part of our broader startup lawyer in India practice, focused specifically on what SaaS and software companies need.
The contract between your product and every user, scope of the license, prohibited uses, and limitation of liability that actually holds up.
Pricing tiers, auto-renewal, cancellation, and refund terms that avoid the disputes subscription businesses run into most often.
For B2B customers who need negotiated terms beyond your standard click-through agreement, a Master Service Agreement with individual Statements of Work for custom implementations.
Required whenever you process customer or end-user data on a client’s behalf, defining what you can do with their data and your security obligations.
Uptime commitments, support response times, and what happens if you miss them, often required before an enterprise customer will sign.
Terms for third parties building on your API, or for your own integrations with other platforms, covering data access, rate limits, and liability.
If you sell through partners or resellers, terms that define territory, margins, and who owns the customer relationship.
Legally required disclosure of what data you collect and how it’s used, distinct from your DPA obligations to specific customers.
Your product’s most valuable asset is often entirely intangible, source code, algorithms, your brand. We handle trademark registration for your product and company names, and make sure IP created by every founder, employee, and contractor is properly assigned to the company, not left with whoever wrote the code. For SaaS specifically, this also means clean IP assignment from any freelance developers or agencies you’ve used, a common gap that surfaces during investor due diligence.
If your product collects any user data, and almost every SaaS product does, you’re within scope of India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, and GDPR if you have users in Europe. Check your own product’s compliance gaps for free with our DPDP compliance checker, then bring us whatever it flags. This matters even more for B2B SaaS, enterprise customers increasingly require a compliant DPA before they’ll sign, and a gap here can stall a deal at the final stage.
SaaS businesses raise on metrics investors know how to read, ARR, churn, net revenue retention, and the fundraising documentation needs to keep pace. We draft term sheets, SAFEs and convertible notes, shareholders’ agreements, and ESOP documentation for your team, carrying the deal through from initial terms to signed agreements.
