Document background
The Restricted Use Agreement serves as a critical legal instrument under Swiss law for organizations seeking to grant limited and controlled access to their proprietary assets, technology, or intellectual property. This document type is particularly relevant when the owner of valuable assets needs to maintain strict control over how their property is used while allowing legitimate access to authorized users. The agreement encompasses detailed usage parameters, compliance requirements, monitoring provisions, and enforcement mechanisms, all structured within the framework of Swiss commercial law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations. It's commonly used in scenarios involving software licensing, technical knowledge sharing, database access, or specialized equipment usage where the rights owner needs to maintain significant control over their assets while enabling specific, limited use by third parties.
