Document background
The User License Agreement serves as a legally binding contract between software providers and end users in the Netherlands, operating under Dutch law and EU regulations. This document is essential when distributing software, applications, or digital products to users, whether in a business-to-business or business-to-consumer context. It should be used whenever a company needs to establish clear terms for software usage, protect intellectual property rights, ensure GDPR compliance, and define user obligations. The agreement incorporates requirements from Dutch civil law, EU consumer protection regulations, and data protection laws, making it suitable for both domestic and EU-wide deployment. It typically includes provisions for license scope, usage restrictions, warranties, liability limitations, and termination rights, while ensuring compliance with Dutch legal principles of reasonableness and fairness (redelijkheid en billijkheid).
