Document background
This Perpetual License Agreement template is designed for use in Canadian jurisdictions where a permanent, ongoing license for software or technology is required. It's particularly suitable for enterprise-level software implementations or significant technology acquisitions where the licensee needs perpetual usage rights rather than a subscription-based model. The document incorporates requirements from Canadian federal and provincial legislation, including intellectual property laws, privacy regulations, and consumer protection provisions where applicable. It covers essential elements such as license scope, usage rights, maintenance terms, warranties, and liability limitations, while allowing for customization based on specific provincial requirements, particularly considering the distinct civil law system in Quebec versus common law provinces.
