Document background
The Perpetual License Agreement is essential for businesses seeking to establish long-term rights to use software, technology, or intellectual property under Swiss jurisdiction. This document is particularly relevant when parties wish to structure a one-time payment for permanent usage rights rather than a subscription-based model. The agreement needs to comply with Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations and Swiss Copyright Act, while addressing key aspects such as license scope, usage rights, intellectual property protection, and ongoing maintenance terms. It's commonly used in software licensing, technology transfers, and intellectual property transactions where permanent access to the licensed material is desired. The document should be carefully drafted to account for Swiss-specific legal requirements while ensuring clarity on perpetual usage rights, support obligations, and liability limitations.
