Review an RMM renewal before the deadline decides for you.
Use this vendor-neutral checklist to verify the agreement, notice deadline, delivery method, complete cost, operating evidence, data access, transition obligations, and proof. Then adapt the notice starting point with authorized commercial and legal review.
RMM contract renewal checklist
Record the source, owner, decision, and evidence for every step. A checked box without the controlling document or delivery proof is not closure.
Identify the renewal date
Record the service start, current term, renewal or end date, and automatic renewal term from the controlling documents—not from memory or a sales page.
Verify the notice rule
Confirm the notice period, calendar or business day definition, time zone, holidays, and whether notice is effective when sent or only when received.
Verify notice delivery
Identify every permitted delivery method, recipient, address, portal, required wording, tracking method, and acknowledgement requirement.
Reconcile the complete price
Capture base fees, minimums, technicians, endpoints, required add-ons, implementation, taxes, credits, billing cadence, and renewal uplift language.
Review operating evidence
Evaluate service history, support, incidents, security, patching, remote access, reporting, integrations, automation, and technician experience.
Inventory data and exports
List device data, scripts, policies, audit records, reports, credentials, integrations, documentation, and configurations that must be exported or retained.
Review transition obligations
Confirm assistance, export formats, retention, deletion, access revocation, agent removal, fees, and timing after termination or non-renewal.
Select the decision path
Record renew, renegotiate, evaluate alternatives, or exit; name the owner and approver; and state the evidence and assumptions behind the decision.
Prepare the operational plan
If changing platforms, define pilot, coexistence, rollback, cutover, endpoint reconciliation, source retirement, billing closure, and acceptance.
Obtain qualified review
Have the authorized commercial owner and qualified counsel verify contract interpretation, authority, deadline, delivery requirements, and final wording where needed.
Deliver and preserve proof
Send through every required channel before the verified deadline. Retain approval, final notice, timestamp, recipient, tracking, receipt, acknowledgement, and follow-up.
Non-renewal notice starting point
Replace every bracketed field. Do not send this text until an authorized owner and qualified counsel have confirmed it matches the signed agreement and applicable requirements.
