SERVICES
SaaS and Software Contracts for New York and New Jersey Companies
Subscription, license and services agreements that settle who owns what, what happens when the service fails, and who pays when data is lost, before anyone signs.
The terms that carry real cost
A software agreement decides who owns the platform and the data, what uptime is promised, how price increases work, and what happens at exit. Those questions are easier to settle at signature than after a renewal notice or an outage.
Liva Law drafts and negotiates agreements for companies that sell software and companies that buy it, including SaaS subscriptions, software licenses, master services agreements (MSAs), professional services agreements (PSAs), statements of work (SOWs) and broader commercial technology agreements.
For vendors, the work often starts with a standard customer form and a short list of positions the sales team can concede without calling a lawyer. For buyers, it usually means a focused review of liability caps, data rights, price increases and termination.
Edward Liva draws on extensive legal, compliance, and operational experience in financial services and technology, including commercial agreements and contractual risk management. He is admitted in New Jersey and New York.
