The Corporate Software License Agreement serves as the primary legal framework for software licensing transactions between software providers and corporate users in India. This document is essential when a business entity needs to acquire rights to use proprietary software for its operations while ensuring compliance with Indian legal requirements. The agreement covers critical aspects including license scope, permitted uses, technical specifications, implementation requirements, and ongoing support obligations. It incorporates provisions mandated by Indian legislation, particularly the Information Technology Act, 2000, Copyright Act, 1957, and data protection regulations.
