Draft Subscription Agreement
"Heather reviewed and revised three legal documents — Subscription Agreement, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Use — for our SaaS platform's new video analysis feature. The scope included video content ownership and licensing provisions, derivative content rights, a share link legal framework, student likeness consent language, and COPPA/minor protections. The quality of her work was outstanding. Every addition was precise, internally consistent across all three documents, and clearly written — not buried in unnecessary legalese. She understood the technical product (a video annotation tool with shareable links) and translated that into clean legal language that actually reflects how the software works. That's rare and incredibly valuable. Turnaround was fast — she delivered all three revised documents within 24 hours of receiving the editable files. Communication was clear and professional throughout. I will be engaging Heather again for Phase 2, which covers student portal legal review and Stripe Connect payment processing. If you are a founder who needs a lawyer who understands SaaS, data privacy, and content licensing without overcomplicating things, Heather is the one to hire. Highly recommended."
