Read a SaaS order form against its master terms

Quillon Software has sent a one-page order form that incorporates forty pages of master terms by reference. The review reads both and reports where the order form promises something the master terms take away.

First draft
A conflicts table between the two documents comes back from one run before the signature deadline.

The problem

An order form is the document the business reads and the master terms are the document that governs. Uptime credits promised on page one can be capped to irrelevance on page thirty-one, and an auto-renewal notice period can be longer than anyone expects. Signing the short document without reading the long one is the ordinary failure here.

  1. Step 01 of 05

    Add both documents to one matter

    The order form and the incorporated master terms are uploaded together, with the counterparty and the signature deadline recorded on the facts strip.

    Ask for the conflicts

    Prepare for: Standard, Deliver as: Word. The instruction asks specifically where the order form and the master terms give different answers, and which document wins under the order of precedence clause.

    Read the conflicts table

    Six conflicts come back, each with the order form wording and the master terms wording quoted side by side, and the precedence clause applied to say which prevails.

    Senior Associate Employment Contract: English Law Review

    Summary

    1. 1.

      Clause 9(c), non-competeHigh

      The 12-month prohibition on working for any law firm anywhere in the UK, Ireland or EU, in any capacity, is almost certainly wider than reasonably necessary and therefore unlikely to be enforceable.

      Tillman v Egon Zehnder Ltd [2019] UKSC 32
    2. 2.

      Clause 11, data and monitoringHigh

      Blanket contractual consent is not an adequate basis for general employment processing, special-category data or unrestricted monitoring.

      UK GDPR, Arts 6 and 9
    3. 3.

      Clause 4, holiday carry-overHigh

      The unconditional five-day cap conflicts with mandatory carry-over rights where sickness, statutory leave or employer failure prevents leave being taken.

      Working Time Regulations 1998, regs 13 to 13A

  4. Step 04 of 05

    Check the renewal arithmetic

    The auto-renewal runs on ninety days' notice against a twelve-month term, which means the decision date has already passed for the pilot the business ran last year.

What comes back

A document, not a transcript.

  • A conflicts table pairing the order form wording with the master terms wording and stating which prevails.
  • The renewal arithmetic worked out against the actual dates, with the notice date named.
  • Proposed order form amendments that fix the conflicts without reopening the master terms.
  • Action items for the procurement lead, with the two points that need a commercial decision marked as such.

Authorities it checks

  • Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, s 3
  • Arnold v Britton [2015] UKSC 36
Every source it may cite

What it does not do

  • It does not negotiate the master terms with the vendor, and it sends nothing to them.
  • It cannot check a policy incorporated by a hyperlink unless that policy is uploaded as a document.
  • It does not decide whether the uptime commitment is commercially adequate; it reports what the two documents say it is.
