Document background
The Software Sublicense Agreement is essential for organizations that wish to extend their software licensing rights to third parties under Dutch law. This document is typically used when a primary licensee needs to grant software usage rights to other entities while maintaining compliance with their master license agreement. It becomes particularly relevant in scenarios involving software resellers, distributors, or companies extending software access to subsidiaries or partners. The agreement must carefully balance the requirements of Dutch contract law, EU regulations, and specific software licensing principles. It includes detailed provisions for usage scope, territorial restrictions, payment structures, and compliance mechanisms. Special attention is given to intellectual property protection, data privacy requirements under GDPR, and alignment with the original license terms.
