Kate, This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but maybe there are some learnings from source code escrow services. If you aren't familiar with source code escrow, it is a service where a vendor keeps and maintains a copy of the source code for their software/application in a third-party escrow account. If a qualifying event takes place (i.e. vendor goes out of business), the source code is released to the customer and the customer has rights to use the source code. These services are common for business critical applications where the livelihood of a company/organization is dependent on an application.
I personally don't have any agreements to share as I've only researched these services and never purchased them. I'm sure a quick Google search will give you a number of vendors to look at, but at one time Iron Mountain offered this service.

Would anyone have knowledge or samples of a cloud services termination agreement, policy or SLA with a provider that includes termination activities? I'm researching materials that are intended to deal with backup, re-migration, data ownership and transfer, etc. on the chance that the cloud based service provider goes under, or terminates the service with the customer, or vice versa. Any ideas around safeguarding or planning for "unclouding" or moving clouds or having your cloud move on<https://youtu.be/O3F4GmbHl5g> would be helpful! (I think Mick says it best -- https://youtu.be/O3F4GmbHl5g :)) Have a great day.
