Document background
The Limited Use Agreement serves as a critical legal instrument in South African business operations, particularly in scenarios involving the controlled distribution and usage of proprietary assets, intellectual property, or specialized services. This document type has become increasingly important in the digital age, where precise control over usage rights and access to digital assets is essential. Operating under South African law, which combines Roman-Dutch civil law and English common law principles, the agreement must comply with various legislative requirements, including the Consumer Protection Act, POPIA, and the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act. The Limited Use Agreement is specifically designed to protect the rights holder's interests while providing clear parameters for authorized usage, making it particularly valuable in technology licensing, content distribution, and service provision arrangements.
