The Master Service Agreement Software Development is designed for businesses requiring a structured legal framework for ongoing software development services in New Zealand. It serves as an umbrella agreement that establishes the fundamental terms and conditions governing the relationship between a software development service provider and their client, while allowing for specific projects to be initiated through separate work orders. This document is particularly relevant when parties anticipate multiple development projects or ongoing services and need a comprehensive agreement that addresses intellectual property rights, service standards, data protection, and risk allocation in accordance with New Zealand law. The agreement incorporates local legal requirements while maintaining flexibility to accommodate various development methodologies and project types.
