The Web Developer Agreement is a crucial legal document used in India when engaging professional web development services, whether from an individual developer or a development company. This agreement is essential for protecting both parties' interests while ensuring clarity in project scope, deliverables, and expectations. It incorporates requirements from key Indian legislation including the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and relevant data protection laws. The document is particularly important in today's digital economy where businesses increasingly rely on web presence and custom web applications. It covers critical aspects such as intellectual property rights, payment terms, project milestones, acceptance criteria, and warranty provisions, while also addressing modern concerns like data privacy and security compliance. This agreement is designed to prevent disputes by clearly defining responsibilities, deliverables, and remedies available under Indian law.
