ABSTRACT
Cloud computing (CC) is the assumed miracle solution for establishments who are keen on cost effective automation and is brought to a users door step through cloud computer service providers. There are many areas where a user should consider when selecting a vendor for a cloud services solution, from the vendor鈥檚 infrastructure and computing architecture framework to the jurisdiction within which the solution resides. In as much as its uptake is sky rocketing, there is a major challenge in selecting a provider who fits the bill. Most practitioners falsely believe that as long as a data security and privacy is mitigated then all is well. There are many other factors that users should confirm with the provider of their ability before any contract is signed of which this paper discusses. Issues to do with Intellectual property, jurisdiction, and portability of content are mentioned. Disappointed users with failed projects who end up with court cases are also included in the paper.
