About this course

Small mistakes can cost a fortune in SaaS and other cloud contracts, including agreements related to artificial intelligence. This program will help you avoid the most typical errors, ranging from simple to subtle.

Enroll and you can ask David Tollen questions (via chat) and learn the most up-to-date best practices on the cutting-edge issues impacting cloud services terms. You also get access to a webinar recording for 30 days after (even if you miss the live event).

Topics covered include:

  • Misunderstanding fundamental cloud concepts
  • Mistakes in managing prompts, training data and outputs from generative AI
  • Confusing cloud subscriptions - including SaaS and AIaaS - with software licenses and professional services
  • Focusing on ownership of data instead of data control
  • Losing a good deal over data breach indemnities
  • Accepting SLAs with eyes closed
