Description
The number of disputes arising from software development, licensing, use and performance problems has increased considerably due in part to the lack of understanding of the underlying principles of both the technology involved and the application of the contractual rules and governing legislation. This volume offers comprehensive treatment of this difficult area of law. It provides practical advice on the techniques involved in the negotiating process and giving clause-by-clause guidance on drafting water-tight software licenses, service contracts, Web hosting and development agreements. The emerging trends of Web licensing, open licensing, Web-wrap contracts and e-commerce implications are also discussed. The accompanying disk of precedents provides the user with key documentation.
