Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

The appropriate content depends on the type of software and your role in it. Answer these questions first before finalizing agreements.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Is it custom or standard software? With custom software, development, delivery, and ownership of the source code are central; with standard software, it is primarily about the license terms.
Who becomes the owner of the copyright? Copyright on software originates with the creator and is transferred only through a written assignment; without such an agreement, the supplier retains the rights and the customer acquires only a right of use.
Is the software delivered as a one-off or as a service (SaaS)? For a one-time delivery, a license suffices; with SaaS, availability, maintenance, and data processing are of ongoing importance.
Are personal data being processed? If the supplier processes personal data on behalf of the customer, a data processing agreement is mandatory under the GDPR in addition to the software agreement.
Which party bears which risk? Determine in advance how liability, maintenance, and business-critical downtime are distributed, so that the risk allocation aligns with the importance of the software.
Clauses and provisions

Which components belong in a software agreement?

A comprehensive software agreement regulates not only the price, but above all who is entitled to what and what happens if the software does not work. In most cases, the following components are included.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Description of the software Always Document what the software must do, which functionality has been agreed upon, and which specifications it meets, so that delivery is verifiable.
Intellectual property and source code In customization and development Determine whether ownership (copyright) transfers to the customer or remains with the supplier, and whether the source code is delivered or placed in escrow.
License and right of use With standard software and SaaS Describe the scope of the right of use: number of users, locations, duration, and whether the right is exclusive or non-transferable.
Price and payment Always Set one-off costs, license fees, or subscription prices, including indexation and payment terms.
Delivery, acceptance and warranty During development and delivery Agree on how testing will be conducted, when the software is accepted, and what warranty applies to defects.
Maintenance and support For ongoing service Regulate updates, maintenance, availability, and response times, optionally in a separate SLA.
Liability and indemnification Always Limit liability and arrange for indemnification for infringement of third-party rights.
Term and termination Always Determine the duration, notice periods, and what happens to data, licenses, and usage rights upon termination.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

An agreement is only effective if it aligns with the actual situation and is adhered to by both parties. Use this document at the following times.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
Before the start of the project Record specifications, schedule, and price in writing before development or delivery begins. This way, you avoid discussions afterwards about what was agreed upon and what the software should do.
Upon delivery Perform the agreed acceptance test and document the acceptance. Acceptance often determines the moment at which payment is due and the warranty period commences.
In case of changes Record additional work or new functionality in an addendum to the agreement. Oral changes lead to ambiguity regarding scope, price, and liability.
Upon termination Follow the agreements regarding the return of data, source code, and the expiration of licenses. This way, you retain access to your data and prevent continued unauthorized use after the expiration.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

In practice, things often go wrong at the same points. You can easily prevent the errors below.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
No agreement regarding ownership of the source code The customer pays for custom work but has no right to the source code and remains dependent on the supplier. Determine in advance whether the copyright is transferred or whether the source code is placed in escrow.
Vague description of the functionality Discussion on whether the software meets expectations and whether it has been delivered. Describe the functionality and specifications concretely and testably in an appendix.
No acceptance or test procedure Uncertainty regarding when delivery was made and from when payment is due. Include an acceptance test with clear criteria and an acceptance point.
Liability not limited In the event of an error or failure, the supplier bears unlimited risk, or conversely, the customer has no recourse. Agree on a reasonable liability arrangement with a maximum and exceptions.
Processing of personal data not regulated The parties are acting in violation of the GDPR and risk fines. Conclude a data processing agreement in addition to the agreement if personal data is processed.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

Your role determines the focus of the agreements. Do you recognize your situation?

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
You are having custom software developed You commission the development of custom software. Pay attention to ownership of the source code, delivery, acceptance, and an escrow arrangement.
You supply software to customers You are a software supplier or developer. Limit your liability, clearly define the right of use, and arrange for maintenance separately.
You purchase software as a service (SaaS) You use online software on a subscription basis. Pay attention to availability, support, price changes, and what happens to your data upon termination.
You process customer data via the software The software processes personal data of your customers or staff. Ensure you have a data processing agreement and clear agreements regarding security and retention periods.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

Sometimes a software agreement covers only part of your situation. In these cases, you need a supplementary document.

Situation Supplementary document Why
Situation Related document Explanation
The software processes personal data on your behalf Data Processing Agreement Under the GDPR, a data processing agreement is mandatory if the supplier processes personal data for you.
You wish to share confidential information during the process Confidentiality Agreement A confidentiality agreement protects source code, ideas, and business-sensitive information that you share.
You are working together on development or operation over the long term Cooperation Agreement In a joint project, a cooperation agreement defines the division of roles, contributions, and returns.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a software agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what software agreements are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a software agreement?
A software agreement is the umbrella term for all agreements relating to software — from the license agreement to the development agreement, the SaaS agreement, and the software support contract. In practice, the term software agreement is also used for the specific agreement governing the use of software by a business customer: the right of use, the payment terms, support, and liability. The software agreement is the central document in the relationship between the software supplier and the business customer and forms the legal basis for the entire software relationship. Our lawyers draft a software agreement for you that precisely defines the right of use, correctly establishes the support and maintenance obligations, effectively limits liability for malfunctions, and safeguards continuity in the event of the supplier's bankruptcy.
How do you structure a complete software agreement?
A complete software contract typically consists of multiple layers. The basic agreement governs the commercial arrangements: duration, price, payment terms, and references to the appendices. The license appendix describes the right of use: which modules, number of users, platforms, and geographical restrictions. The SLA appendix establishes the availability and response time guarantees. The support appendix describes the support model. And the Data Processing Agreement regulates the GDPR obligations. This modular structure makes it possible to keep the generic conditions stable while defining the specific SLA standards and prices per customer. Our lawyers will draft the complete contract structure for you.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers draft a software agreement that precisely defines the right of use, correctly establishes support, limits liability, and safeguards continuity in the event of the supplier's bankruptcy.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document
SME Lawyers
Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
