Software Contract:
A software contract is the written agreement
between you and the software provider that lays
out each party's obligations with respect to using
the software. If you have an Order Form and
hyperlinked Terms and Conditions, both of those
pieces form the contract, so it's important to
review them together.
Why we need software contracts?
• If you’re in the software or IT business, you need a thorough, carefully
constructed software development contract. This contract should protect
you and your business. It exists to give you legal backing in case of any
disputes.
• In order to avoid disputes and future difficulties, it is better to draft
document which sets out:
The terms to which both parties is to work
Methods of payment
Appropriate ways to terminate the contract-notice required
Software contract includes:
• Name of Parties
• Standard Terms and Conditions
• Set of Appendices (Annexes)
Elements of a software contract:

• Description of the services and the project scope


• Time and budget
• Warranties
• Intellectual property rights
• Project confidentiality
• Indemnification
Types of software contracts:
• Custom software contract
• Fixed Size software contract
• Time & Material Software Contract
• Dedicated Team
Custom Software Contract:
The first thing you should include in your customs software contract is
the terms. The terms of a custom software contract must be spelled out
clearly and concisely.

Fixed Size software contract:


Before the project begins, the cost of a project is determined, and this process
frequently necessitates extensive preparation that takes time. For the estimates
to be correct, the development scope, requirements, and timelines must be well
outlined by the companies. Fixed-cost software agreements are simple: you pay
for the outcome upfront.
Time & Material Contract:
This type of contract details how you will pay the software developer for the
hours they spend on your software. This portion of the agreement ensures
that the developer will be paid, even if the timeline for the project is longer
than expected.

Dedicated Term:
A long-term collaborative business model for contract software
development is a dedicated team. By choosing this type of contract, you will
keep the finger on the pulse of the project. Also, you will participate in sync-
up meetings and retrospectives directly. If you’re looking for flexibility here,
that’s exactly what you need.
