Software Maintenance Agreement

ContractEdge offers a software maintenance agreement which includes an entire suite of documents to help protect your rights and have your clients understand their end user rights and agreements. A software maintenance agreement protects your rights over the entire time period of the project. Any updates or enhancements you agree to provide to the client must be identified in this agreement.

If you run a small consulting firm, using a software maintenance agreement can also protect you from your client hiring your vendors or employees. If this is not stated in the agreement, then you are leaving yourself opened to losing your help which eventually can lead to the downfall of your business. Being protected through legal documents is the first step when managing a business.

The software maintenance agreement package offered by ContractEdge.com, often accompanies an Independent Contractor Agreement which clearly states your expectations for the assigned project. The payment terms and deadlines should also be stated clearly, as well as a protection statement about intellectual property rights and confidential information.

The advantage ContractEdge has over other companies is all of their software contracts have been written or consulted by attorney's who have experience in the IT profession. You may think you have every step covered when in fact you don’t. That one document could cost you your legal rights over a software idea and now you have lost al legal rights. By reviewing all of the documentation from ContractEdge.com, you will not have to be worried about the little things as all of the documents are in one package for your convenience.

The ContractEdge Software Maintenance Agreement includes a Statement of Work, and Price and Payment Terms provisions specifically developed to help keep all updates and enhancements under your protected rights. Sometimes a project takes longer than expected to complete and all these “what if’s” need to be included in the software maintenance agreement.
