Term Sheets and Tech Deals: Key Considerations
The speed and ease of ecommerce and other information age applications may seem like magic, but the technologies behind them are driven by their own very real, practical and legal concerns. The realities of relying on these technologies—including the increasing dependence on third-party online or mobile websites, cloud-based applications and/or social media networks—place tremendous responsibilities on those who must pull off the trick of making the “magic” work by successfully obtaining and safely providing these foundational services and systems.
This report, Term Sheets and Tech Deals: Key Considerations, focuses on some of the key aspects businesses regularly have to address with their investors, customers, suppliers, partners and regulators. Prepared by members of Kaye Scholer’s respected Technology & Digital Transactions group, the report features the following three articles:
