About this talk

Just as most software assets contain open source, modern software applications commonly include third party software functionality via calls to external web services via APIs. By using web services, developers may be inadvertently signing their companies up to terms of service or using a web service without a suitable agreement. Using these services can expose a company to compliance, security, data privacy, and operational risks that could disrupt or severely affect the business. As part of the tech M&A due diligence process, you should be aware of these web services-related risks so that you can make informed decisions about deal valuation and remediation. Join us for a discussion about web services and how they can affect M&A and other transactions. We’ll cover: • The legal compliance, data privacy, security, and business risks that come with web services • Typical terms of service and common pitfalls • Real-world examples of these risks • How a buyer can get a better understanding of these risks in a target’s codebase or how a seller can prepare for diligence to avoid risks Don’t miss this informative webinar.
