Document background
This Software License Agreement template is designed for use in the United Arab Emirates, providing a comprehensive framework for software licensing transactions. It is suitable for both B2B and B2C arrangements, incorporating necessary provisions to comply with UAE Federal laws, including intellectual property, electronic commerce, and data protection regulations. The document should be used when a software owner wishes to grant usage rights to their software while retaining ownership and controlling how the software is used. It includes essential elements such as license scope, fees, technical requirements, support services, and liability limitations, all structured to be enforceable under UAE jurisdiction. This template addresses both traditional on-premise software licensing and modern cloud-based software delivery models, making it adaptable to various technology deployment scenarios.
