This is a sophisticated software license agreement template. The template is very flexible, including as it does a wide range of optional provisions.

The template software license agreement includes optional provisions relating to different licensing models. The licence may be limited to particular users, particular premises, a particular number of concurrent users, a particular number of installations, or a particular computer system.

The document is based upon - and contains all the provisions included in - our standard software licence agreement template. In addition, it includes provisions relating to the security of licensed materials, licensing of source code, placing source code in escrow, confidential information and indemnities.

The contents of the software license agreement are as follows:

(1) Definitions and interpretation
(2) Term
(3) Delivery of Software
(4) Security
(5) Invoicing and payment
(6) Licence
(7) Intellectual Property Rights
(8) Escrow
(6) Warranties
(9) Indemnities
(10) Limitations and exclusions of liability
(11) Confidentiality
(12) Termination
(13) Effects of termination
(14) Notices
(15) General

The document also includes the following schedules (to be completed by the user):

Schedule 1 - The Software
Schedule 2 - Charges
Schedule 3 - Licensing
Schedule 4 - EULA
Schedule 5 - Form of escrow agreement

The template refers to a EULA (that is, an end user license agreement). However, it does not include a EULA. If you need a EULA, please consider our EULA template. Similarly, the template refers to but does not include an escrow agreement. Typically, an escrow services provider will supply their own escrow agreement.

The software agreement template is 21 pages long, including the cover sheet, and is supplied in Word (.doc) format for easy editing.
