YC Template Sales Agreements
Since 2015, Y Combinator has provided free, downloadable template sales agreements to help software-as-a-service startups get a head start on their first SaaS sales agreement.
Y Combinator Sales Template Agreement
The original YC template is available as a Word document:
Use this agreement as a starting point and customize it to meet your needs. YC has highlighted the areas most likely to vary from startup to startup.
Common Paper Cloud Service Agreement
For a more comprehensive and customizable SaaS sales agreement, Common Paper (a Winter 2023 YC portfolio company) has released a Cloud Service Agreement. Two options are available:
- Free customization tool — walks you through various contract terms and provides defaults or choices
- Cloud Service Agreement Word document — a solid template agreement as a starting point
