The Software Development Agreement is a crucial legal document used when engaging professional software development services in Denmark. It establishes the framework for custom software development projects, whether engaging an external development company or independent contractor. The agreement addresses key aspects including project scope, development methodology, intellectual property rights, acceptance testing, and payment terms, all within the context of Danish law and EU regulations.
