What is a Non Exclusive Perpetual License?

This Non-Exclusive Perpetual License agreement is designed for situations where a party wishes to grant permanent, non-exclusive rights to use specific intellectual property, software, technology, or other materials under German law.

It provides detailed sections on license scope, payment terms, warranties, and liability provisions, structured to ensure enforceability under German law.
