Document background
The Customer License Agreement is a crucial legal document used when software providers wish to license their products to customers under Swiss law. It is particularly relevant for both domestic Swiss operations and international companies choosing Swiss law for its stability and well-developed legal framework. The agreement should be used whenever software is being licensed to end-users, whether they are individuals or organizations, and includes essential provisions required under Swiss law regarding contract formation, performance, and termination. The document covers critical aspects such as license grants, usage restrictions, intellectual property rights, data protection compliance (particularly with FADP), payment terms, and liability limitations. It's designed to provide clear terms while ensuring compliance with Swiss mandatory laws, including consumer protection regulations where applicable.
