What is a Standard Use License?

The Standard Use License agreement is a fundamental legal instrument used in the United Arab Emirates to grant permission for the use of intellectual property, software, content, or other proprietary materials.

The agreement must comply with UAE Federal Laws, including Law No. 5 of 1985 (Civil Code) and Federal Law No. 7 of 2002 on Copyrights and Related Rights. The Standard Use License typically includes detailed terms covering usage rights, restrictions, payment obligations, technical specifications, and termination conditions, while incorporating necessary provisions for electronic transactions and consumer protection under UAE law.
