Document background
This Permanent Software License Agreement template is designed for use in South Africa when granting perpetual rights to use software products. It is particularly relevant for software providers who wish to license their products on a permanent basis rather than through subscription models. The agreement incorporates requirements from key South African legislation, including consumer protection, electronic communications, and data protection laws. It provides comprehensive coverage of essential elements such as license scope, usage rights, warranties, and technical requirements, while ensuring compliance with local legal frameworks. This template is suitable for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions, though certain clauses may need adjustment depending on the specific use case.
