What is a Cloud Service Agreement?

A Cloud Service Agreement, or CSA, is a contract used to sell cloud software and SaaS products. The CSA specifies business terms like fees and length as well as legal terms like liability and indemnification.

Master Services Agreement, or MSA, is another name for this type of contract. The main difference between them is that an MSA might be used for the sale of all kinds of products and services, from software to catering to consulting. The term CSA is more specific and narrow, while MSA is more generic and wide-ranging.
