Cloud Service Agreement (CSA) - Standard by Common Paper

DdanielnewmanUpdated 17 Oct 2025

This document is a template for Terms of Service, specifically designed for B2B SaaS products that are hosted on a web page and agreed to via click-through consent. It integrates a Cloud Service Agreement, an Order Form, and Framework Terms, providing a comprehensive structure for a SaaS provider to contract with its business customers. The template includes detailed instructions and variables for customization, covering aspects like fees, payment processes, liability, and data handling.

Other names:Services ContractMaster Services AgreementMSA

<!-- begin instructions

These Terms of Service are based on the Cloud Service Agreement v2.0 and designed to be used for B2B SaaS products, hosted on a web page, and agreed to via click-through consent. For a contract designed to be individually negotiated and signed with each customer directly, visit https://commonpaper.com/standards/cloud-service-agreement.

You can use variables to customize your contract. Variables appear below as Variable name:. We've included some default choices for the variables and < ! - - drafting notes  - - > about some things to consider when customizing this contract. 

To create your clickthrough agreement, customize the [[ double bracketed fields ]] with your details. Review the optional fields and decide whether they apply. If they apply, customize them based on your situation and remove the notes container from around the variable name, but not the variable name itself. If any optional field does not apply, remove it entirely.

Once completed, remove the brackets (but not the details inside them) and all drafting notes, copy the information, and paste it into the page where you will host your clickthrough agreement. Don't forget to make sure the link to the Standard Terms (available at: https://commonpaper.com/standards/cloud-service-agreement/2.0/) is active and clickable to incorporate them by reference.

< ! - - Drafting notes are included in comments that won’t be rendered in HTML (actual comment markers like the ones before and after these instructions don't use spaces) - - >
