The Platform License Agreement serves as the primary legal framework for software platform licensing arrangements in Saudi Arabia. This document is essential when a platform provider wants to grant access to their software platform while protecting their intellectual property rights and establishing clear usage terms. It addresses critical elements such as data protection, service levels, and compliance with Saudi regulations, including the Electronic Transactions Law, Cloud Computing Regulatory Framework, and Sharia principles. The agreement is particularly relevant in the context of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 digital transformation initiatives, where organizations increasingly rely on software platforms for their operations. The document includes comprehensive provisions for user rights, responsibilities, data handling, security measures, and dispute resolution mechanisms compliant with Saudi Arabian law.
