Illustrative Projects
Drafting software licensing contracts and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) contracts to describe exact technology model. Exact software contracts are needed to protect the business interests of the client.
In case client has already drafted a software contract covering all features of the technology model as offered by the information technology (IT) company, it is crucial to review such software contracts to ensure that terms of technology contracts describe the exact business model of the technology company.
One major difference in structuring software contracts is between software product licensing and software-as-a-service (Saas) offering. In software product licensing, software products are licensed to customers whereas in software-as-a-service (Saas) technology model, access to software is provided over cloud computing platform and no license is provided.
