Why Do I Need a Software Reseller Agreement?
Software companies often work with distributors to resell or license their software applications. Although using a software reseller is a great way for companies to find new customers, a software reseller agreement is important to ensure that the rights and obligations of both the software company and the reseller are clearly defined.
Over the years, we have helped numerous start-ups with preparation and negotiation of a software reseller agreement.
The Importance of a Software Reseller Agreement
A software reseller agreement will outline the key aspects of the reseller’s deal, including pricing, territory, exclusivity, and payment expectations and mechanics. Most importantly, a strong software reseller agreement will clarify that the company owns all the intellectual property related to the software, will enter into agreements directly with users, and that the developer will only use the company’s marketing materials and pricing structure.
Don’t Fall For DIY, Free, or Generic Online Forms
Some companies try to minimize software reseller agreements by documents found online or cheap online services like legalzoom.com and hope they have done things correctly. The danger with cookie-cutter forms or “do it yourself” is that, if software reseller agreement isn’t comprehensive and clear, it may not adequately protect your interests.
