Negotiating Software Contracts

Negotiating Software Contracts cover

Description

How has the UK's version of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 affected important aspects of software contract negotiation? Where do EU and UK laws now diverge in this field since Brexit and what effect does this have on software contracts?

The Sixth Edition of this title provides answers to these questions, alongside updated negotiating principles and necessary licensing provisions.

Readers have access to 32 downloadable precedents, ranging from professional services agreements to software licence agreements to shrink-wrap licences. Precedents and guidance are commercially focused to provide the reader with an opportunity to enhance negotiation skills via useful and practical tips.

Providing an up to date analysis of a myriad of new e-commerce, data protection and related legislation and case law and sample contracts/precedents, this book allows legal professionals and business advisers to understand the full range of software contracts, from both the supplier and customer viewpoints.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Intellectual Property and IT online service.
