something specified.
 Computer contract:
 Computer Contract means all arrangements and agreements under
which any third party provides any element of, or services relating to, the
Computer Systems, including leasing, hire purchase, licensing, escrow
and maintenance agreements.
Purpose served by computer contract.

 Set out the agreement between the parties


 Set out the aims of the parties
 Provide for matter arising while the contract is running
 Ways of terminating the contract and the consequences
(continue….)

 If the contracts are too harsh or unfair causing any issue


between parties to be unresolved, it is the responsibility of
contract laws to contemplate according to the rules.
(continue….)

 Contract should be clear, concise and consistent. There


should be no ambiguity and the parties to the agreement
should be left in no doubt as to their rights and duties.
Ambiguity and doubts can lead to performance which is
viewed as unsatisfactory. This can lead to disagreement and
the expenditure of time, effort and therefore money, in
resolving the matter.
Contracts for the supply of custom-built
software at a fixed price.

 Software suppliers try to use what are known as standard


form contracts, which are used or intended to be used many
times over.
 Such a contract might consist of:
a short introductory section.
a set of standard terms and conditions.
a set of appendices or annexes.
(continue….)

 It states that it is an agreement between the parties whose


names and registered addresses are given.
 It is dated and signed by authorized representatives of the
parties.
 It often begins with a set of definitions of terms used in the
course of the agreement, set out either in alphabetical order,
like a dictionary, or in the order in which they appear in the
rest of the contract –The Company, The Client.
(Continue….)

 Terms and conditions


 Annexes must include any document stated like SRS. This is
to avoid, for example, the situation in which statements made
by an over-enthusiastic salesman while trying to win the
business are claimed by the client to constitute part of the
contract.
