Our Approach to Customer Contracts
Atlassian’s business and offerings span a number of different products, services and deployment types:
- Our product suite includes Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Loom and Trello.
- We offer a number of Advisory Services to supercharge your use of our products.
-
We support multiple subscription-based deployments, with hosted offerings (aka “Cloud”) and self-managed offerings (aka “Data Center”).
In line with our commitment to Build with Heart and Balance, we have drafted one customer contract – the Atlassian Customer Agreement – to cover all of these offerings. The Atlassian Customer Agreement is short, easy to understand, and tailored to our business and offerings.
Our products adhere to an enterprise set of controls and policies that meet a range of international standards and market expectations because we know security, privacy and reliability are important to our customers. The Atlassian Customer Agreement and its supplemental terms (such as our Data Processing Addendum and Security Measures) clearly and accurately reflect the standardized manner in which we provide, support, upgrade, and secure our products across our customer base.
To ensure that our customers spend time on what matters to them (and we’re guessing it’s not going back and forth on legal terms), our Atlassian Customer Agreement is generally more favorable to customers than other software providers' agreements. We are proud of our “Customer Favorable” certification from TermScout – check it out here!
Finally, we periodically update our Atlassian Customer Agreement and supplemental terms to reflect changing business and market practices and incorporate feedback from customers. You can sign up here to receive email notifications of changes to our legal terms.
