Document background
The Simple Software Development Agreement is designed for use in the Belgian legal context when engaging a software developer or development company to create custom software solutions. This document is particularly suitable for straightforward development projects where a clear scope can be defined and standard development methodologies apply. It addresses key aspects required under Belgian law and EU regulations, including intellectual property rights, data protection, and delivery terms. The agreement is structured to provide adequate protection for both parties while avoiding unnecessary complexity. It includes essential provisions for project management, quality assurance, and acceptance testing, making it suitable for both business-to-business and professional engagements. This document should be used when commissioning new software development work where the requirements are well-defined and the project scope is relatively standard.
