Use cases for this template

NorthPeak Insights secures enterprise buy-in for its SaaS analytics rollout

The Challenge

NorthPeak Insights had a solid clickwrap user agreement, but Harbor & Co.'s procurement team wanted clearer articulation of support boundaries, renewal pricing, and acceptance records to keep the terms enforceable and demonstrate that authorised users would comply with the AUP.

The Solution

The legal contract template stood as-is; to support it, the team used Proposal Kit's document assembly to produce standard documents: Specifications summary, a downtime credit explainer, and a change-notice plan, while the AI Writer generated a data handling report, onboarding how-to guides, and legal updates notices, automated line-item quoting modeled tiered subscribed services, and negotiated add-ons.

The Implementation

They documented the acceptance method, set procedures to notify users of upgrades, created a payment and renewal calendar, and packaged a practical law-style brief showing why clickwrap agreements are legally enforceable, integrating these materials into sales and onboarding.

The Outcome

Harbor & Co. signed quickly with fewer redlines, NorthPeak managed renewals with less time spent, support requests dropped due to clearer guides, and the business scaled transactions while maintaining compliance and limitations on liability.

ForgeLink streamlines supplier marketplace access across multiple plants

The Challenge

Crescent Manufacturing needed a rapid rollout to dozens of sites, but technical difficulties and confusion about third-party support threatened adoption, and finance required a predictable process to manage pricing changes and terminate or renew on schedule.

The Solution

ForgeLink kept the EULA intact and used Proposal Kit to create supplemental materials: a technical support runbook, an incident reporting method, and a proprietary information handling brief; the AI Writer produced plant-level checklists and user training guides, and line-item quoting set site licenses, authorised users, and optional consulting services.

The Implementation

They issued a Specifications booklet defining Services, Support Services, and Delivery security, codified steps to contact technical support when experiencing technical difficulties, and scheduled notifications to users for upcoming renewals so stakeholders could comply with internal processes.

The Outcome

Crescent achieved full access with fewer tickets, the supplier avoided duty to non-contracted consumers, budgeting stabilized around renewal cycles, and the court-ready acceptance records gave leadership confidence that the agreement was enforceable.

LumaPay aligns its mobile app launch with credit union compliance

The Challenge

Rivertown Credit Union required proof that the clickwrap agreements were legally enforceable, clarity on content responsibility and limitations, and a plan to handle transfer-of-agreement notice in case of future M&A, all while keeping the contracting process business-friendly.

The Solution

LumaPay left the contract language unchanged and used Proposal Kit to assemble supporting documents: a compliance overview, a practical law resources-style how-to guide for branch managers, and a dispute-handling summary; the AI Writer produced consumer FAQs and regulatory legal updates bulletins, and line-item quoting mapped negotiated enterprise tiers.

The Implementation

They versioned user agreements, captured time-stamped acceptance, defined how to notify users about price changes, and published a concise EULA summary that helped integrators and lawyers manage expectations without altering the core agreement.

The Outcome

Rivertown approved the launch, LumaPay shortened sales cycles, maintained practice compliance across regions, and delivered a smoother onboarding experience that reduced risk while supporting the platform's growth.

Abstract

This SaaS clickwrap end user licence agreement sets the ground rules for access to a hosted software platform. Acceptance occurs by checking a box or similar method online, signaling consent to the user agreement and the EULA terms. Well-designed clickwrap agreements are generally considered legally enforceable, helping businesses manage risk in routine platform transactions without the delays of traditional contracts. Many teams use practical law resources, standard documents, checklists, and how-to guides to understand how practical law resources support practice compliance and a consistent contracting process.

The agreement grants access to subscribed services but no license to the underlying software or source code. Customers may not download, redistribute, or reverse engineer the software. Full access to the platform continues while subscription fees are current and the customer complies with the Acceptable Use Policy.

Terms start with a six- or twelve-month commitment, renew automatically, and require at least 30 days' written notice to terminate. Payments are C.O.D. unless credit terms are granted; the supplier can revoke credit if invoices age beyond 30 days. Prices and terms may change on renewal, so many companies choose to notify users as a matter of process and compliance.

Support and any upgrades or consulting services are defined in the Specifications. If customers are experiencing technical difficulties, they should contact technical support as outlined there. Warranties are disclaimed; liability is limited to a pro-rata credit for downtime.

The company has no duty to support third-party users not directly contracted, such as clients, vendors, or consumers of the customer's own services. Trademarks integrated by the customer must be properly authorised.

The agreement restricts transfer without consent, requires protection of proprietary information, and allows termination for breach or insolvency events. Indemnification protects the provider from claims arising from the customer's marketing or support activities. Disputes can lead to recovery of legal fees by the prevailing party, with courts applying the stated governing law. These enforceable terms are sufficient for many businesses when reviewed by lawyers and tailored in the Specifications to address specific needs, integrating acceptance, compliance, and limitations into one agreement EULA with less time spent on negotiation.

Use cases include B2B platforms provisioning authorised users, mobile apps requiring a click-to-accept EULA, and sales tools offering subscribed services to supplier networks.

Proposal Kit can streamline this contracting process with document assembly tools, automated line-item quoting, an AI Writer for supporting materials, and an extensive template library that helps teams produce consistent, easy-to-use agreements and related documents.

Additional insight: For many organizations, the main value of this framework is operational clarity. It separates platform access from ownership, sets renewal rhythms, and defines how authorised users must comply with payment and AUP obligations. Courts often find clickwrap agreements legally enforceable when the acceptance path is clear and terms are accessible, which helps a business scale onboarding with predictable risk.

While most clickwrap user agreements are not negotiated, enterprise buyers may request negotiated addenda for security, uptime, or data controls. Teams should review Specifications regularly so the scope of subscribed services, support methods, and limitations match actual delivery, especially after product changes or legal updates.

This approach benefits sales, customer success, and finance by creating a repeatable contracting process with less friction than traditional contracts. It also guides how to notify users about renewals or price changes and manage who has full access. As product lines expand into mobile apps or new regions, revalidating acceptance language and ensuring users comply with updated terms keeps the agreement enforceable.

Proposal Kit helps teams assemble consistent user agreements and related materials from standard documents, adjust tiers with automated line-item quoting, and use its AI Writer to build supporting policies and how-to guides. Its extensive template library enables faster iteration when offerings evolve, so documents stay aligned with business needs after legal updates.

Further considerations focus on the Specifications, the operational core of these user agreements. Define Services, Support Services, and Consulting Services distinctly, plus Delivery security measures, data handling boundaries, and the method for reporting incidents. Because the platform is provided as is and not customized, plan how upgrades are introduced, how change notices are communicated, and how authorized users must comply with new features or limits without disrupting the business.

Cash-flow planning matters. Payments begin before service start; terms are C.O.D. or net 10 with credit, and credit can be revoked if invoices are overdue by 30 days. Renewal pricing may change, so align budgeting and procurement calendars and decide when and how to notify users about new rates. If ownership changes, the agreement requires 60 days' notice to the supplier, so build that into corporate transaction checklists.

Content responsibility is clear: the provider does not control customer content, and the customer warrants rights to any trademarks it integrates. Combine that with strict prohibitions on reverse engineering and redistribution to reduce IP risk. For disputes, the prevailing party recovers fees, and indemnification shifts marketing and support-related claims back to the customer; consider how insurance and internal approvals address these allocations.

Strengthen enforceability by designing the acceptance flow to capture time-stamped consent, versioning, and conspicuous links to terms. Courts are more likely to find clickwrap agreements legally enforceable when acceptance is clear and records are retained. Legal updates should trigger a review of Specifications and related policies; practical law and how practical law resources can help teams stress-test clauses that are commonly negotiated in enterprise settings while staying able to comply with internal standards.

Proposal Kit supports this work by assembling consistent user agreements and Specifications from standard documents and checklists, mapping service tiers with automated line-item quoting, and using its AI Writer to write supporting how-to guides and policies. The extensive template library helps adapt documents to specific needs after legal updates with less time and effort.
