Why Do I Need a Software License Agreement?

If you operate a website, mobile application or software program, you need an agreement to define your rights and obligations to your users. This agreement is called a software license agreement or an “SLA”.   

Over the years, we have helped numerous start-ups and experienced business owners alike with preparation of their SLAs, and in many cases can offer Flat Fee software license agreement creation services.

The Importance of a Software License Agreement (SLA)

An SLA will outline key terms of the relationship between you and your licensees and users, including areas such as privacy, use of data, fees, service levels, technical support, and intellectual property ownership.  An SLA will also set limits on what users can do with the software, how and who can access it, and what you can do if a user violates the SLA. 

Don’t Fall For DIY, Free, or Generic Online Forms

Some companies try to minimize SLAs by copying documents found online or using cheap online and hope they have done things correctly. The danger with cookie-cutter forms or “do it yourself” is that, if an SLA isn’t comprehensive and clear, it may not adequately protect your interests. 

How it Works (What to Expect)

For a flat fee of $2,000, we will:

  • Contact you to gather information about the project;

  • Prepare a draft SLA; and

  • Answer questions and make minor revisions to the initial draft to get you closer to a final version.

The Not So “Fine Print”

Limitations, Conditions, and Caveats

In some instances, a flat fee is not appropriate.  Of course, we can most likely assist, and would tell you in advance what costs to anticipate. 

Moreover, the flat fee does not include any additional work, such as significant revisions to the documents, or additional agreements such as software licenses, employment agreements, or other contracts.  Any additional work would be extra and billed at our standard hourly rates.   

This page is for information only and does not constitute legal advice nor our engagement as your legal counsel.  We reserve the right to change or discontinue any of the flat fee services provide on our web site at any time.  All services are subject to our conflicts policy, Terms of Service, and the execution of our Flat Fee Engagement Agreement.

Payment

All flat fees must be paid in advance.  Invoices or requests for retainers for future work needed will be sent in accordance with our standard billing process. As a courtesy, we accept most major cards and can accept online checks.
