Cloud Service Provider Customer Agreements (CSP)

Why you need a Cloud Service Provider Customer Agreement

Microsoft Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) need to have a contract in place with their customers that flow terms set by Microsoft between all three parties. This agreement will determine the scope of engagement, licencing and fees.

What is a Cloud Service Provider Customer Agreement?

Microsoft CSPs offer their clients different licences and support services. This makes it important to have a CSP Customer Agreement that works with your unique offering. It is difficult to find an online template to suit these specific needs... fortunately Law 365 work with CSP everyday!

This is a 'Forever template'

We will continually update this template with the frequent Microsoft updates such as CSP and other flow down terms, plus we will update the relevant terms to ensure you can claim as many rebates as possible, and get recognised by Microsoft such as CPoR, (Claims Partner of Record) DPoR (Digital Partner of Record), and PAL (Partner Admin Link).

We will also continually update this template as the law changes, for example, GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and the effects of Brexit on our laws, as we untangle ourselves from the European Union.
