Software, SaaS & cloud contracts
Drafting and reviewing licensing, subscription, implementation, support and cloud-service terms, including scope, service levels, data access, suspension, exit and business continuity.
Technology projects depend on contracts, data, intellectual property and operational responsibility. Clear legal architecture helps businesses adopt software, platforms and digital services without leaving ownership, confidentiality or liability unresolved.
01
How the practice helps
Technology procurement
Structuring requests, statements of work, acceptance criteria, change control, warranties, security obligations and remedies for delayed or defective technology projects.
Platforms & digital products
Reviewing platform terms, user journeys, online contracting, payment relationships, content rules, marketplace responsibilities and customer-facing legal information.
IP, confidentiality & data
Allocating ownership of code, content, deliverables and improvements while addressing confidential information, personal data, subcontractors and cross-border access.
02
Legal context
A technology contract must describe the system—and the risk.
Technology matters can engage Lebanese contract and commercial rules, intellectual-property rights, personal-data obligations, consumer protection, electronic transactions and civil responsibility. Foreign providers, infrastructure and users may also introduce governing-law, jurisdiction and enforcement questions. The legal documents should reflect the real product, technical dependencies and decision-making structure.
03
Frequently asked questions
Direct questions deserve precise answers.
What should a software or SaaS agreement cover?
It should address the licensed or subscribed service, permitted use, fees, implementation, service levels, support, data handling, confidentiality, intellectual property, security, suspension, liability, termination, data return and dispute resolution.
Who owns custom software created for a business?
Ownership should not be assumed from payment alone. The answer depends on the contract, the contributors, pre-existing materials and applicable intellectual-property rules. The agreement should distinguish existing tools, new deliverables, licences and reusable components.
Can a foreign technology provider impose foreign law and courts?
A contract may contain governing-law and forum clauses, but their effect depends on the parties, transaction and mandatory rules that may apply. Enforceability and the practical location of evidence and assets should be assessed before acceptance.
