This Software Licence Agreement facilitates the licensing of software by a company to another company. This licence is drafted so it runs for a specific period of time, and renews for a further period (which is determined by you), in return for the customer paying a regular licence fee. It is not a perpetual licence (i.e. a licence which runs forever).
This document would be used by a company providing software to its customers without any associated or related services (such as professional services or support services).
The document is drafted from the perspective of the supplier. It is drafted in a fair and balanced manner to minimise negotiation but it does favour the supplier. It includes provisions to protect intellectual property rights, as well as terms relating to data protection, confidentiality and limitation of liability.
A company would use this document when it only wishes to licence software to a customer without any other services.
