Six things worth checking in a hosting agreement

Automatic renewal.

Check the renewal length and the notice date. Missing it can lock you in for another full term.

Uptime promises and what you get when they fail.

Service credits are usually the only remedy. Check how downtime is measured and how you claim.

Fixed amounts if you leave early.

Some contracts set early-termination charges in advance. Check how they are calculated.

The liability cap.

Caps are often tied to a few months of fees. Check whether data loss sits inside or outside it.

Getting your data out.

Look for an export window at the end, the format, and whether it costs extra.

Changes to the terms.

Check whether the provider can change prices or terms by posting a new version, and whether you can leave if you disagree.

What hosting agreements in a public contract dataset contain

We counted clauses in the 20 hosting agreements among 510 public-company commercial contracts from the CUAD dataset (The Atticus Project, CC BY 4.0). These are larger-company deals, not a sample of every hosting agreement — use them as a reference point, not a rule.

Stands out

Liquidated damages: 8 of 20 (40.0%) — across all 510 contracts: 12.0%.
A renewal term: 12 of 20 (60.0%) — across all 510 contracts: 34.5%.
A license grant: 15 of 20 (75.0%) — across all 510 contracts: 50.0%.

Clause	In these 20	Across all 510
A cap on liability	15 (75.0%)	275 (53.9%)
Liability left uncapped for some breaches	9 (45.0%)	111 (21.8%)
A right to end the contract without cause	9 (45.0%)	183 (35.9%)
An assignment of IP ownership	6 (30.0%)	124 (24.3%)
A non-compete	4 (20.0%)	119 (23.3%)
An insurance requirement	3 (15.0%)	166 (32.5%)

In this set, hosting agreements fixed damages in advance, renewed on a set term and granted a license more often than the average contract — check the calendar before the uptime numbers.

Small sample: with 20 contracts, one contract moves a percentage by about 5 points. A clause being rare here is not a reason to leave it out of yours.

Questions people ask

Is the hosting agreement review free?

Yes — your first analysis is free for good, one contract per account, no card. You get the risk score and every finding by name, with the two most important explained in full. The rest are listed but locked until you unlock the report for $9 or start a plan.

Can I upload a provider's standard online terms?

Yes — save them as a PDF or paste the text. Standard terms are harder to change, but knowing the renewal and exit terms still matters.

Does it read the SLA?

Yes, if it is in the file. Many providers keep the SLA as a separate page; upload it one file at a time.

Is my hosting agreement private?

It is private to your account and is never used to train models. Uploaded files are deleted after 30 days. From 30 September 2026, your report stays in your account until you delete it.
