Software Development Agreement

A Software Development Agreement governs custom software creation, specifying scope, milestones, and IP ownership. This playbook highlights negotiation on deliverables, acceptance testing, and post-delivery warranties.

Compliance & Regulatory Obligations

Why This Matters: Non-compliance exposes both parties to legal penalties, sanctions, and reputational damage, making proactive regulatory alignment crucial.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure all compliance requirements are clearly outlined and agreed upon. Regularly review and update internal policies to align with contractual obligations.

If you're the Developer:

Negotiate for reasonable compliance timelines and responsibilities. Seek clarity on audit processes and potential liabilities.
