Document background
The Simple Software License Agreement is a fundamental legal document used when a software owner wishes to grant usage rights to another party while retaining ownership of the software. This agreement is particularly relevant in the Malaysian context, where it must comply with local intellectual property laws, electronic commerce regulations, and data protection requirements. It typically includes essential provisions such as license scope, usage restrictions, payment terms, warranties, and liability limitations. The document is designed to protect the licensor's intellectual property rights while providing the licensee with clear terms of use. This agreement is commonly used for standard software deployments where complex customization or development services are not required, and can be adapted for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer relationships under Malaysian law.
