The Standard Software License Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in Switzerland for establishing the contractual framework between software providers and their customers. This agreement is essential when a software provider wishes to license their software products while retaining ownership of the intellectual property rights. The document is structured to comply with Swiss legal requirements, including the Swiss Code of Obligations, Federal Data Protection Act, and Copyright Act, while addressing modern software licensing practices. It covers crucial aspects such as license scope, usage rights, maintenance terms, warranties, and liability limitations. The agreement is particularly relevant in the current digital economy where software licensing forms a critical component of business operations. This document type is commonly used for both domestic Swiss transactions and international licensing arrangements where Swiss law is chosen as the governing law.
