Document background
This Perpetual License Agreement template is designed for use under German law when a company wishes to grant permanent, non-revocable rights to use its software or technology. It is particularly suitable for enterprise software solutions where the licensee requires long-term security of use and the licensor provides ongoing maintenance and support. The agreement includes essential provisions required by German law, including specific terms for warranty, liability limitations, and data protection under GDPR and BDSG. It addresses key aspects such as license scope, usage rights, maintenance terms, and termination conditions, while incorporating necessary protections for both parties' interests. This template is typically used for significant software implementations where the customer prefers a one-time license fee rather than a subscription model, and requires clear documentation of perpetual usage rights.
