Your SaaS agreement, redlined in minutes.
Email the agreement — vendor paper or your own; minutes later a tracked-changes redline comes back with every change explained in a margin comment and a plain-English cover email, ready to review, edit, and send to the other side. Buying or selling the software, the analysis is calibrated to your side.
New accounts include three free initial analyses — pay only when you want the redline.
What redline checks in a SaaS agreement.
Uptime and service credits
Is the availability number a commitment or an effort? What's carved out of it? "Commercially reasonable efforts" to hit 99.5% isn't a promise — and credits as the sole remedy, claimable only in writing within days, rarely get paid.
The liability cap
One-way caps, “fees paid last month” ceilings, and data-loss exclusions decide what a bad outage or breach actually costs. redline flags the asymmetry and drafts the carve-outs.
Your data
Who owns it, what the provider may do with it, whether "aggregated" usage data can be re-identified, and where it's stored.
Security and breach notice
Concrete security commitments, a breach-notification clock, and a path to audit — not a link to a policy that can change tomorrow.
Fees and price increases
Locked for the initial term? Capped at renewal? Notice before a hike that lands before the renewal window closes? redline checks the escalation math and the auto-renew trap behind it.
Auto-renewal and exit
Renewal windows you can actually meet, termination for convenience, and what happens to prepaid fees when the provider is the one in breach.
Getting your data back
A retrieval window, a usable format, and transition help after termination — or the data quietly leaves with the account.
Suspension rights
“Sole discretion” suspension and disabling technology turn a billing dispute into an outage. redline drafts notice-and-cure.
Unilateral changes
Terms that live at a URL "as amended from time to time" and rights to change the service at will — flagged, and tethered to no-degradation language.
Warranties and "as is"
Performance to spec, no malicious code, compliance with law, non-infringement — against a disclaimer that waives all of it.
Indemnities and IP claims
Who defends an infringement claim, what's excluded, and whether "modify, replace, or refund" is the whole remedy.
Smuggled extras
Non-solicits, audit rights with cost-shifting, accelerated fees on termination, clickwrap terms incorporated by reference.
Customer paper or provider paper — the side sets the positions.
Customer side
You're buying. The paper usually came from the provider and leans their way — caps, credits, renewals, and data rights all need the customer's counter, prioritized for what a provider will actually concede.
Provider side
You're selling. The paper may be the customer's procurement form — uncapped liability, most-favored pricing, withhold rights, and escrow asks all need a provider's reasonable limits.
redline reads whose form it is, asks which side you’re on when it isn’t obvious, and calibrates every position to it — including how long an ask list a provider will realistically entertain.
What the first reply looks like.
A vendor’s SaaS agreement, user on the customer side — the cover email and the redline, as they arrive.
Hi Priya,
Redline attached. The short version: as drafted, they can raise your price by any amount at renewal — and tell you about it after your last day to walk away has passed. Fixed: increases are now capped, and notice has to arrive before the non-renewal deadline, not after it. Eleven changes total; three are critical.
The hidden increase (most important). §14.2 auto-renews for two years unless you give 90 days’ notice; §8.6 lets them change the price on 30 days’ notice. Read together, the new price lands sixty days after your window to leave closed — with no ceiling. §8.6 now caps any increase at 5% and requires notice 60 days ahead of the non-renewal deadline; §14.2 shortens the window to 30 days.
- Don’t sign without: the capped, pre-deadline increase notice (§8.6 + §14.2) and notice-and-cure before any suspension (§2.8). Present as one package.
- Push firmly, tradeable: a mutual liability cap with a higher cap for data claims (§13); a 60-day data-retrieval window at termination (§14.4).
- Can trade: the usage-audit clause (§8.8) if limited to once a year; the jury waiver.

8.6 Fee Increases. Provider may increase Fees for any Renewal Term by providing written notice to Customer at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of such Renewal Term. Provider may increase Fees for any Renewal Term by no more than five percent (5%) over the Fees in effect during the immediately preceding twelve (12) months, by providing written notice to Customer at least sixty (60) days prior to the last date on which Customer may deliver notice of non-renewal under Section 14.2. No increase in Fees is effective unless made in compliance with this Section 8.6.
Revised so that any increase is capped and is noticed before the non-renewal deadline rather than after it. As drafted, a price change could arrive once the window to decline renewal had already closed, leaving no practical choice but to accept it. A 5% ceiling with notice 60 days ahead of the non-renewal date is the common middle ground and preserves the provider’s ability to adjust pricing on reasonable terms.
Priya — hold this one; the timing matters more than the number. If they push back on 5%, the fallback is CPI + 2%. Never accept notice shorter than the non-renewal window — without that, any cap is decorative.
Not a law firm
redline is AI tooling — analysis and drafting for your review, not legal advice, and no attorney–client relationship. Every output says so.
Never used to train models
Your contracts, emails, and matter state never train or fine-tune any model — ours or a vendor's.
Encrypted and isolated
TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest, private storage behind expiring links; every matter is scoped to its owner.
Three analyses free. The redline arrives when you unlock it.
