How do SaaS contracts handle data export on termination?

Best vendors offer free CSV or JSON export of all distributor and transaction data within 30 days of termination. Worst lock data behind a fee or extended timeline (90 days plus a $5K to $15K fee in some contracts we've reviewed). Always negotiate this before signing; leverage is highest pre-contract. Watch specifically for two clauses: 'data deletion timeline' (when does the vendor delete your data after termination, and can you delay it?) and 'export format guarantee' (specifically CSV or JSON, not the vendor's proprietary format). CloudMLM Software and Business MLM Software both offer 30-day free export as standard; verify in the contract specifically.
