Keeping Track of Your Stuff is Easy with a Good CMS
D.C. Toedt over at On Technology Contracts posted a recent article about keeping track of Insurance Certificates. He relays a great story about the importance of asking for them, but more importantly, being able to produce them when needed. This is such a simple thing to do when you have a good Contract Management System. [...]
Web TOS Amendments
Eric Goldman on “Amending this Agreement whenever we want” (the Harris v. Blockbuster case from earlier this year). Dead on, as usual, so I’ll repeat his mantra here: “STOP PUTTING CLAUSES INTO YOUR CONTRACTS THAT SAY YOU CAN AMEND THE CONTRACT AT ANY TIME IN YOUR SOLE DISCRETION BY POSTING THE REIVSED TERMS TO THE [...]
Audit Surcharge
Sherry Gordon (no relation) over at Spend Matters wrote yesterday on the topic of suppliers charging customers for the privilege of auditing. No, we’re not talking about just covering the costs of the audit itself, we’re talking about a surcharge on top of the auditing costs – a fee to the supplier for the burden [...]

UCITA redux
Ever wonder why you spend the bulk of your time inserting contract language for this warranty or that limitation of liability… only to get to the end of the agreement and then disclaim a few large bodies of law, such as the UCC or UCITA? If you’ve not had the pleasure of attending law school, [...]
Data Breach Suit Targets Auditor

The Licensing Handbook Blog is the companion site to the Software Licensing Handbook. Covering licensing topics on a regular basis, Jeffrey Gordon attempts to offer advice, add [...]
Don’t Pay for Enterprise App Maintenance
I completely agree with David Dobrin. It’s hard to convince people to do it, of course. But read his logic. 1/200th. I think that is about the right threshold – it might even be a little low (my life insurance policy is about 1/500th… my car is about 1/166th – but doesn’t take personal injury [...]
