Software license agreement. License agreement for a computer program, database

License Agreement Legislation

Software, which includes both the actual computer programs and databases, is classified by article 1225 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation as objects of exclusive rights. Accordingly, the exclusive rights of the owners of such programs are protected by law (including Part 4 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

The transfer of the ability to use programs to other persons is carried out on a contractual basis by concluding a special license agreement, the preparation of which must be guided by the provisions of Articles 1235, 1236 and 1286 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

According to Article 1235 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the parties to the license agreement are the licensor (the owner of the software who grants rights to his developments) and the licensee (the person to whom the program is provided for use). The following principle applies to the user: he is granted only those rights and within the limits specified in the agreement. If any of the powers is not indicated in the agreement, its use by the licensee is prohibited.

Transaction form and types of agreements

Article 1236 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides for 2 types of agreements on the granting of user rights on various terms:

  1. Simple license. This type transaction allows the program owner to issue an unlimited number of permissions to users.
  2. Exclusive license. In this type of transaction, the owner of the program grants permission to use it only to a specific user and is deprived of the opportunity to conclude similar transactions with other persons. The user, in turn, is also not entitled to transfer the acquired license to other entities, unless the counterparties agree otherwise.

Both versions of the license agreement, in accordance with Article 1235 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, are concluded in writing. At the same time, a simplified form of such an agreement is also widely used in practice, which is applied only when transferring a simple license.

To transfer rights to a user in a simplified form, in accordance with Article 1286 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the program owner must place on a copy of the product (in print or electronic form) the text of the agreement, which in this case will be an accession agreement. The beginning of the use of the program or the performance of other implicit actions by the user specified in such an agreement will mean acceptance by the user of the terms of the transaction.

It is important to remember that a license agreement concluded in a simplified manner is a priori free of charge, unless otherwise indicated in its text.

Essential conditions and validity period of the license agreement, conclusion of a transaction with a non-resident, sample document

The essential terms of the software license agreement are listed in Article 1235 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. They are:

  1. The subject of the transaction, that is, the name of the product, the rights to which are transferred.
  2. List of methods of permitted use.
  3. Indication of the amount of remuneration for using the program or the procedure for its calculation. If the transaction is supposed to be free of charge, this should be expressly stated in the contract.

It is important to remember that in the signed contract it is also necessary to designate the territory on which the user has the opportunity to work with the product. So, when drawing up a license agreement with a non-resident for the transfer of software, it is advisable to indicate the country where work with the product is allowed (for more details on the definition of the concepts of "resident" and "non-resident", see our separate article). If the contract does not specify the boundaries of the use of Russian-made software, the possibility of using the product will be a priori provided only within the Russian Federation.

As an example, you can see a sample software license agreement (drawn up in a simplified form) available on our website.

Validity period of the software license agreement

According to Article 1235 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the parties have the right to specify any period of use of the program within the limits of the exclusive right to it of its owner.

In the event that the parties do not indicate the term in the agreement, the period of its validity is 5 years. If the software owner's exclusive rights to it expire before the expiration of the transaction, the contract is subject to termination.

It should also be remembered that the exclusive rights of the owner can be transferred to another person as a result of the sale or for other reasons. In this case, license agreements with users are not terminated, but are valid on the same terms until their expiration. After the expiration of the contract, the user will need to renew it with the new owner of the rights to the software.

As you can see, the procedure for concluding license agreements, as well as the relationship between the software owner and the user, is regulated in detail by the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The sample document given in the article will help you quickly understand all its details and make your own version, if necessary.

1.4. Within the Territory and Term provided for in this Agreement, the Licensor permits the Licensee to use the Products in the following ways:

1 ) use in the Licensee's own business activities for the functional purpose ( end user agreement), or

2) distribution of the program by the Licensee as a stand-alone product or as part of another (derivative or composite) product ( agreement with a distributor).

Depending on this, the license agreement determines the permissible ways of using programs and databases.

For example, for the first option, permission to play (synonyms: record, copy, install or install), launch and functional use may be quite enough.

Whereas the second option requires a detailed study of the requirements for the procedure for using the software, depending on the options for its further distribution. So, for the distribution of a finished software product, the right to distribute, bring to the public may be additionally required (this method concerns the transfer / download of distribution kits over the Internet).

In the case of creation based on licensed software new version product or inclusion in the software package, it is necessary to obtain the right for processing (modification), etc.

At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to a strict restriction, according to which the right to use software not directly specified in the license agreement is not considered granted to the Licensee (see clause 1 of Article 1235 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Thus, the condition on the ways of using computer programs and databases cannot be formulated by indicating "all" rights or by excluding individual rights. In this case, the license agreement will not be considered concluded.

2.1. The Licensor is obliged to provide the Licensee with copies of the Products on tangible media or send them to the Licensee by network method as agreed by the parties no later than 10 (ten) days from the date of signing the relevant Appendix (Specification).

As a rule, the right to use the programs is granted simultaneously with the transfer of their copies. In order to streamline the relations of the parties, it is desirable to document the transfer of copies and rights in the form of a bilateral act or a postal receipt / waybill on their sending to the Licensee. Due to the lack of general, well-established rules on this issue, the acceptance and transfer procedure should be detailed in the license agreement.

Of particular importance is the documentary confirmation of the transfer of copies and the granting of rights to software under foreign economic contracts, where one of the parties is a non-resident. In such a situation, it becomes necessary to comply with currency legislation, which requires the provision of documents on the actual execution of the contract.

3. License fee for the use of programs

There are many options for determining remuneration under a license agreement. The specific conditions on the license fee depend on the purpose of concluding the agreement.

In the case of an agreement with an end user, the license fee is usually set in a fixed amount, which can be paid in a lump sum or in installments.

Under an agreement with a distributor (reseller), it is possible to pay a fixed amount of remuneration for each distributed copy or a share in the income from its distribution. Different procedures and terms for payment of remuneration may be established.

In the latter case, in order to calculate the amount of remuneration, the Licensee is obliged to provide detailed reports on the procedure for using licensed products.

4. Reporting under a license agreement

Important section for license agreements aimed at the next distribution of software products, since the amount of the license fee in them, as a rule, is associated with the results of the activities of the Licensee.

5. Guarantees under the license agreement

These provisions are aimed at protecting the interests of the Licensee.
