Expertise

IT Development Agreements

IT development agreements demand concise drafting and clear communication to ensure that the resulting product meets the client’s requirements. Our sector specialists are well-versed in the field of IT contracts, delivering expert guidance through the careful drafting and negotiation of development agreements including software development and distribution licenses, web design agreements and IT-based intellectual property agreements.

Linking Agreements

A linking agreement is designed for use when one website wishes to link to another. The agreement sets out how links should be made to protect the brand image of both sites and ensures the method used is consistent across the website. If you’re not familiar with linking agreements, it’s best to seek the advice of one of our specialist IT & Telecommunications lawyers who can assist in the clear drafting of the necessary terms and conditions.

Software Licenses and Escrow Agreements

A software escrow is a framework that protects all parties involved in a software license by having a neutral 3rd party escrow agent hold source code, data, and documentation until a mutually-agreed-upon event occurs. Our lawyers can advise you through the ins and outs of this specialist area, leaning on our vast IT & Telecoms sector experience to provide practical support and strategic guidance every step of the way.

Website Hosting and Development Agreements

When the task of designing, developing and hosting a new website is outsourced to a specialist team or individual, the need for a watertight agreement that sets out the scope of work, the timescales expected and the agreed costs is essential in protecting the interests of both parties – after all, a string of emails is rarely enough to prevent disputes from arising. We work with a range of commercial entities ranging from development teams to their clients to draft and negotiate contracts that cover areas including copyright, defamation, trade mark infringement, E-Commerce Regulations, Distance Selling Regulations, terms and conditions, and many more.

Website Terms and Conditions

Your website terms and conditions are a binding contract between your business and the customer. More than just a box-ticking exercise, a clear and well-written contract will reduce the risk of complaints and boost your customers confidence in your business. Our expertise in this often overlooked area can be relied upon in the creation of clear website terms and conditions that leave no room for error or interpretation.
