Software Distribution Agreements

 

 

Software distribution and re-seller agreements are not simply straightforward commercial agreements. We treat them differently, combining both the principles of generally applicable commercial contract law and the specialist principles of IT law.

This helps us to create solutions which are closely tied to the practical realities of the software distribution chain and the requirements of our clients.

For a software developer, the benefit of working with a distributor is the widening of the markets available for its product.  Coupled with that benefit is the risk of whether the distributor actually exploits the product to its maximum potential.  Negotiating the terms of the software distributor agreement is a key early test for the relationship.  Our objective is always to protect robustly our client’s position whilst laying the foundation for an enduring commercial partnership.

Our software contracts clearly and concisely set out the rights and responsibilities of each party, including in respect of territory, minimum targets, IP ownership, marketing activities, payment provisions, and warranty terms. Whether you are a software developer or distributor, we use our wealth of experience and solution-orientated philosophy to ensure the legal process has a positive impact on your proposed arrangement.
