What is a Perpetual Use License?

This Perpetual Use License agreement is essential for software companies and developers looking to grant permanent, non-revocable usage rights to their software products in Malaysia. The document is specifically crafted to comply with Malaysian legal requirements, including the Copyright Act 1987, Contracts Act 1950, and relevant digital commerce regulations. It should be used when the intention is to provide indefinite use rights in exchange for a one-time payment, rather than subscription-based or term-limited licensing. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as scope of use, intellectual property protection, technical support arrangements, and compliance requirements, while incorporating Malaysian legal principles and commercial practices. This template is particularly valuable for both domestic and international software transactions within the Malaysian jurisdiction.
