Software Development Agreement (No Client Software)

TR.IT.06A

This Software Development Agreement is designed for use by software developers developing software for clients. Such software may be fully-bespoke, standard software developed by the developer, modified software made by the developer, or a combination. Third-party software may also be included. This version of the document does not include references to “Client Software” and therefore assumes that the client will not be providing any software that will ultimately form a part of the software developed by the developer.

A alternative version of this template is available which envisages original software being supplied by the client for adaptation and/or inclusion in the new software.

The data protection provisions in this document have been updated with reference to the UK GDPR.

Detailed provisions in this agreement set out the parameters of the development project including the specification of the software to be developed, price and payment, the project plan, changes to the software, and acceptance testing. Proprietary rights are carefully guarded with provisions including a detailed confidentiality clause, and comprehensive assignment and licensing provisions which allow the developer to licence and/or assign different parts of the software as agreed.

Optional phrases / clauses are enclosed in square brackets. These should be read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused options should be removed from the document.
