The Service License Agreement is a specialized contract format designed for businesses operating under Swiss jurisdiction that need to combine service delivery with licensing arrangements. It is particularly relevant in today's digital economy where software, technology, and professional services often involve both ongoing service components and intellectual property licensing. This document type is commonly used when a provider offers both services and licensed materials (such as software, content, or methodologies) to their clients. The agreement must comply with Swiss federal laws, including the Code of Obligations (OR), Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP/DSG), and relevant intellectual property legislation. It's especially suitable for technology companies, professional service providers, and enterprises engaging in complex service relationships that involve licensed intellectual property. The document addresses Swiss-specific legal requirements while maintaining flexibility for international business relationships, making it particularly valuable in Switzerland's globally-oriented business environment.
