This is a pro-customer website development agreement template. When you are commissioning a website, you should agree with the developer at the outset the legal terms and conditions governing the project. This agreement is designed to help you to do this.

This website development agreement is particularly adapted for projects involving software development or database development (unlike our web design agreements). Under the terms of this agreement, the developer assigns to the customer all of the intellectual property rights in the website. The agreement is "pro-customer" inasmuch as it favours the interests of the customer over those of the web developer.

The agreement includes the following provisions:

(1) Definitions and interpretation
(2) Term
(3) The Services
(4) Customer obligations
(5) Delivery and acceptance
(6) Third Party Works
(7) Unlawful Content
(8) Charges and payment
(9) Intellectual Property Rights
(10) Warranties
(11) Limitations and exclusions of liability
(12) Data protection
(13) Confidentiality and publicity
(14) Termination
(15) Effects of termination
(16) General

The website development agreement is 15 pages long (including the cover sheet) and is provided in Word (.doc) format. See the first few sections here:
