Lisa R. Lifshitz, partner and chair of our Technology and Privacy & Data Management Groups will be part of a webinar titled, "SaaS and AI Vendor Lock-In: Drafting Exit Rights and Portability Terms" presented by Barbari on August 25, 2026.
Introduction
This CLE webinar will explore how to avoid vendor lock-in, protect portability, and draft exit and transition terms in SaaS and AI vendor agreements. The panel will examine how to address termination rights, migration obligations, data export, continued access, deletion, and post-termination support before a business depends on a technology vendor.
Description
Businesses are integrating SaaS and AI tools into every aspect of business operations. After implementing these systems, it can be extremely difficult to replace them due to dependence upon proprietary data formats, custom integrations, fine-tuned models, prompt libraries, and more. Thoughtful contract terms may preserve flexibility and options for portability. Failure to carefully contract with a vendor can enable a practical lock-in where pricing changes, product performance declines, and deprecated features/models become unavoidable or costly.
Listen as the panel discusses practical strategies to assemble SaaS and AI vendor agreements that preserve exit options and reduce transition risks.
