WHAT SETS US APART
We draft and review technology contracts that protect your project, your investment and your intellectual property at every stage of development.
We draft bespoke development contracts that clearly define scope, deliverables, milestones, code ownership, warranties, SLAs and dispute resolution mechanisms. Adapted to agile and waterfall methodologies.
We represent clients and suppliers in disputes arising from technology contracts: missed deadlines, defective deliverables, disputes over code ownership, penalties and termination.
We design the complete contractual framework of digital platforms: terms of use, user agreements, terms for third-party developers or sellers, moderation policies and dispute resolution mechanisms.
We draft and review SaaS contracts, on-premise licences, service level agreements (SLAs), maintenance and support contracts, and licensing models for distributors and partners.
We negotiate and review contracts with cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), hosting, CDN, third-party APIs and infrastructure services. We check the clauses on liability, availability, data protection and content ownership.
We advise companies with the following profiles on technology contracts.
Large-scale processing of user data
Financial data and credit scoring
Clinical and patient data
Purchase and behavioural data
Scaling with data from day one

What Our Clients Say
Reviews from real clients and companies about our technology contract services.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Technology contracts in Spain are mainly governed by the Civil Code and the Commercial Code as regards obligations and contracts, supplemented by specific legislation such as the Intellectual Property Act (for software ownership), the LSSI-CE (for electronic contracts) and the GDPR (for contracts involving the processing of personal data).
In public procurement, Law 9/2017 on Public Sector Contracts sets specific requirements for public administrations buying technology services, including interoperability obligations and compliance with the ENS.
Spain has no specific law on software contracts, which makes careful drafting especially important to clearly define code ownership, the scope of licences and dispute resolution mechanisms.
Since 5 October 2026, Royal Decree 723/2026 also requires employers to explain to their staff the algorithms that decide their working conditions, even if a third party developed them. What to ask for in the contract with the vendor is explained in our guide on algorithmic transparency clauses with your software vendor.
FAQ
It depends on what the contract says. Without an express assignment clause, the developer keeps ownership of the code, even if the client has paid for the development. It is essential to include a clear clause assigning or licensing the exploitation rights in the resulting software.
At a minimum: a definition of the service, service levels (SLAs) with metrics and penalties, pricing and renewal terms, data policy (ownership, portability, deletion), security, confidentiality, a data processing agreement (GDPR), limitation of liability and termination and exit terms.
An SLA (Service Level Agreement) defines the minimum levels of availability, performance and support the supplier commits to. It includes metrics (99.9% uptime, incident response time) and penalties for non-compliance. Without a well-defined SLA, you have no contractual tools to claim if the service fails.
Check the contract: if there is a late-delivery penalty clause, apply it. If the delay is substantial and defeats the purpose of the contract, it may amount to a breach justifying termination. Before terminating, send a formal notice giving a reasonable period to remedy. A lawyer can assess your position and the best strategy (negotiation, mediation or court action).
It depends on the contract’s minimum term, lock-in and portability clauses. Check whether there are early termination penalties, whether you are entitled to the portability of your data and whether the supplier must cooperate in the migration. Exit clauses should be negotiated before signing.
Yes, if the supplier accesses personal data of your users, customers or employees when providing its service. It is a GDPR obligation (Article 28). Not having this agreement is an infringement that the AEPD can penalise.
