What is a Portfolio License Agreement?

The Portfolio License Agreement serves as a master agreement for organizations requiring access to multiple software products, technologies, or intellectual property assets from a single provider under South African law. This type of agreement is particularly valuable when companies need to streamline their licensing arrangements and maintain consistency across multiple products or services. It consolidates what would otherwise be numerous individual license agreements into a single, comprehensive framework, reducing administrative burden and ensuring uniform terms. The agreement must comply with South African legislation, including the Consumer Protection Act, Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, and Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). It typically includes detailed schedules for specific products, pricing structures, service levels, and technical specifications, while maintaining flexibility for portfolio modifications over time.
