The Reseller Software License Agreement is a critical document for software companies expanding their distribution channels in the Canadian market. It is used when a software provider wants to authorize third parties to resell their software products while maintaining control over distribution practices and protecting their intellectual property rights. The agreement must comply with Canadian federal and provincial laws, including the Copyright Act, PIPEDA, and provincial consumer protection legislation. This document typically includes detailed provisions on licensing rights, territorial restrictions, pricing structures, support obligations, and compliance requirements. It's particularly important for software companies utilizing indirect sales channels and needs to be carefully structured to address both the commercial relationship and technical requirements of software distribution.
