My company’s corporate policies will not allow us to agree to the Cloud Computing Special Provisions for Software as a Service (SaaS). Can I get an exemption from those?


No. Acceptance of the Cloud Computing Special Provisions for SaaS is required to contract with the State of California. Suppliers are advised, however, to read the potential state customer’s Statement of Work (SOW) carefully before determining it cannot accept the state’s terms and conditions. There are several sections in the Cloud Computing Special Provisions for SaaS that allow state organizations to tailor language in their SOW.
