Software Development Agreement and Addendum

WHEN TO USE: This Software Development Agreement is used when the client owns computing hardware and the consultant or the "developer" wants software created to specifications. This Software Development Agreement is different than the Software Modification, Licensing and Marketing Agreement because the end-user will use the software but not distribute the resulting product. This Software Development Agreement defines the project timeline and has the developer providing maintenance support for some period of time. The client is provided with a non-tranferable, yet perpetual license for the software to run only on the computing equipment the program is targeted for. The client and the customer must both understand the specifications for the agreement very well. Poorly defined specifications or complex specifications may require that progressive milestones and timelines are constructed to minimize risk of a project scope that can not be properly completed and agreed to.

The Addendum is intended to complement the Software Development Agreement. It is used to define additional functionality or capabilities that the customer wants to add to the original specifications. In addition to defining the additional functionality to be built, it outlines the payment terms for the work to be completed. This Addendum refers to the appropriate clauses in the original agreement for items such as delivery, warranty and licensing.
