Document background
The Hardware License Agreement is essential for organizations seeking to formalize the terms of hardware usage, deployment, and maintenance under Swiss jurisdiction. This document is particularly crucial when a hardware manufacturer or provider grants specific usage rights to customers or partners while retaining ownership of the intellectual property and controlling the hardware's implementation. The agreement, governed by Swiss law and compliant with the Swiss Code of Obligations, addresses key aspects such as technical specifications, maintenance requirements, warranty terms, and liability allocation. It's commonly used in scenarios involving specialized equipment, industrial machinery, or technical systems where specific usage rights, support services, and compliance requirements need to be clearly defined and legally protected.
