Standard Terms, Impact on Governments, and Lessons Learned
from Part III - Private Ordering and Cloud Computing Contracts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 December 2021
This chapter contains the second part of book’s study on cloud computing contracts.
The chapter examines how general contract law, as defined in the chapter, will likely apply to the use of cloud computing services. This chapter focuses on terms that are often considered standard in cloud agreements. The analysis includes terms aimed at keeping information confidential, non-disclosure agreements, terms regarding liability, warranties, and other terms and conditions aimed at regulating or limiting responsibility. Additionally, the chapter considers terms aimed at termination of services, portability and other provisions necessary for exiting services.
In addition to offering an evaluation of specific contract terms, the chapter also evaluates how governments might create better cloud computing contracts to generate more consistent and compliant results.
