Bespoke software is often essential for business and when developing software, the parties concerned need a considerable scope for negotiation but also certainty throughout the development process. Clients will also require considerable control over the development process and will require frequent testing and evaluation opportunities.
A Software Development Agreement will provide for these and many more essential elements in a software development contract between software developers and the clients for whom they are developing the software. Such software may be fully-bespoke, standard software developed by the developer, modified software made by the developer, or a combination. Third-party software may also be included.
This Software Development Agreement contains provisions regarding:
- the parameters of the development project including the specification of the software to be developed;
- price and payment;
- the project plan;
- changes to the software;
- acceptance testing;
- confidentiality clause;
- assignment; and
- licensing (allowing the developer to licence and/or assign different parts of the software as agreed).
