Software Licence Agreement (standard)


Price: £40.00 (Including VAT at 20%)

We created this software licence agreement for those needing a flexible yet straightforward template for licensing software to businesses. You can view a selection of sections from the software licence agreement template here:

Sample Software Licence Agreement

The agreement comprehends a number of different licensing models. It may be used where software is licensed on a concurrent user basis or a named user basis; it may also be used where software is licensed on the basis of a limited number of installations.

The software licence agreement template does not include provisions for the licensing of source code to the customer. Nor does it include escrow provisions. If you need a licence agreement covering source code and/or with escrow provisions, see our premium software license agreement template.

The contents of this software licence agreement are as follows:

(1) Definitions and interpretation
(2) Term
(3) Delivery of Software
(4) Invoicing and payment
(5) Licence
(6) Warranties
(7) Limitations and exclusions of liability
(8) Termination
(9) Effects of termination
(10) 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

This agreement is included in our standard Software Developer Pack.

The template refers to, but does not include, an end user licence agreement (EULA). You may therefore also need to consider our EULA template.

The software agreement template is 16 pages long, including the cover sheet, and is supplied in Word (.doc) format for easy editing.

Software Licence Agreement Q&A

Software Licence Agreement Q&A

Is the licence automatically terminated if licence fees go unpaid?

Not automatically. A failure to pay licence fees may be a material breach of the agreement, giving a right to terminate the entire agreement. In addition, there is an optional provision in the agreement providing for the termination of the licences if fees continue to go unpaid after the licensor has sent a notice to the licensee requiring payment.

Does the licence acknowledge that software may be a little buggy?

Yes. The warranties section includes an acknowledgement that "complex software is never wholly free from defects, errors and bugs".

Does the software licence agreement exclude all liability for faulty software?

No. A provision that attempted to exclude all such liability would likely fall foul of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 (amongst other things).
