The SaaS License Agreement is essential for businesses providing or purchasing software services in Nigeria. This document should be used when establishing a subscription-based software service relationship, whether for enterprise, SME, or individual customers. The agreement ensures compliance with Nigerian regulations, particularly the NDPR 2019 and NITDA Act 2007, while protecting both provider and customer interests. It covers critical elements such as service access, usage rights, data protection, service levels, support obligations, and liability limitations. The SaaS License Agreement is particularly important given Nigeria's growing digital economy and increased adoption of cloud-based solutions across various sectors.
