Technology contracts that bring order to the project We help draft, review and negotiate contracts so that they protect the company and work in the project.

For companies implementing ERP, cloud, SaaS, a custom system, outsourcing, integration or an AI solution and wanting control over scope, liability, acceptance, IP and maintenance.

A contract can look correct and still fail in the project

In technology contracts, the greatest risks are often not hidden in the clauses themselves, but in what is left unsaid: who is responsible for delay, when work is accepted, what counts as a defect, what counts as a change of scope, who holds rights in the deliverables, and how to exit the relationship if the project drifts apart.

A good IT contract is not only a document to sign. It is a working instruction for collaboration that should operate when the project enters a more difficult phase.

CHALLENGES

Where do IT and AI contracts most often create risk?

The contract does not describe the real project Scope, stages, roles and dependencies are generic or detached from how the implementation is meant to run.

View solution

Model structuring

We structure the contractual model around how the parties actually work.

Acceptance is unclear It is unclear when a stage is complete, what counts as a defect, and how to resolve disputes about quality.

View solution

Appropriate clauses

We organise testing, acceptance criteria, defects, acceptance and the consequences of delay.

The supplier shifts risk The contract template limits the supplier’s liability, weakens the SLA or leaves the client without real control.

View solution

We put safeguards in place

We negotiate liability, SLA, penalties, escalation and the supplier’s obligations.

IP and licences are incomplete There is no clarity on rights in code, configuration, documentation, data, work product or AI components.

View solution

IP audit

We define rights, licences, use restrictions and the rules for further development of the solution.

Our solution

The contract as a tool for running the project

We do not stop at comments on the wording. We draft or negotiate the contract so that it structures collaboration, liability and decisions on both sides of the table.

Model

Scope:

client role
project type
parties’ interests
critical points

contract and negotiation priorities

Scope

schedule

a project described without gaps

Acceptance

Scope:

tests
defects
acceptance
delays

fewer disputes about delivering the work

SLA

Scope:

response times
escalations
maintenance
liability

control over service quality

IP

Scope:

code
documentation
configurations
work product

clear rights in the project deliverables

Changes

Scope:

change requests
backlog
sprints
additional costs

changes under control, not "by email"

Exit

Scope:

termination

access
business continuity

lower risk of supplier lock-in

Signing an IT or AI contract? Check whether the agreement will withstand a real project.

The earlier you organise scope, acceptance, liability, IP, SLA and change rules, the less room there is for costly disputes after signing.

Tell us which contract the matter concerns: implementation, licence, SLA, outsourcing, cloud, ERP, software development, maintenance, integration or AI. Indicate whether you are on the side of the customer, the supplier, a software house, an integrator or a technology partner.
