## Häufig gestellte Fragen

- **Q:** Do I need a Privacy Policy too?
  **A:** Yes, a Privacy Policy is separate and required by law in many jurisdictions to explain how you collect and handle user data. The ToS governs the rules of using the service itself.

- **Q:** Can I modify SaaS Terms of Service after users sign up?
  **A:** Yes, but you must provide reasonable notice (typically 30 days) and notify users of material changes via email. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

- **Q:** What should be included in an acceptable use policy?
  **A:** An acceptable use policy should prohibit illegal activities, spam, hacking attempts, copyright infringement, malware distribution, and activities that could harm the service or other users.

- **Q:** How should refunds and cancellations be handled?
  **A:** Clearly specify your refund policy, cancellation procedures, whether subscriptions auto-renew, and how users can downgrade or cancel. Many SaaS companies offer prorated refunds or allow cancellation at the end of the billing cycle.

- **Q:** How should SaaS terms handle uptime commitments and service credits?
  **A:** If you promise a certain level of availability (e.g., 99.9% uptime), the ToS should define exactly how uptime is measured, what counts as downtime, and what remedy users receive if the SLA is missed — typically a service credit calculated as a percentage of the monthly fee. Critically, credits should be defined as the exclusive remedy for downtime rather than grounds for unlimited damages, and the ToS should exclude scheduled maintenance windows from downtime calculations.
