Document background
The Master Software License Agreement is designed for situations where a software provider needs to establish a long-term licensing relationship with a customer under Indian jurisdiction. This foundational document sets out the comprehensive framework for all software licensing transactions between the parties, typically used when a customer requires enterprise-wide software deployment or ongoing software services. The agreement incorporates essential elements required under Indian law, including compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000, data protection regulations, and intellectual property laws. It serves as the umbrella agreement under which specific software products can be licensed through individual order forms or statements of work, making it particularly suitable for complex, long-term software licensing relationships where multiple software products or modules may be licensed over time.
