The Domain License Agreement is essential when one party wishes to grant another party the right to use a domain name while retaining ownership. This document is particularly relevant in scenarios such as brand licensing, corporate restructuring, or strategic partnerships under German jurisdiction. The agreement must comply with German legal requirements, including the Civil Code (BGB), telecommunications laws, and DENIC regulations for .de domains. It typically includes comprehensive provisions covering license scope, technical requirements, usage restrictions, fees, and compliance obligations. The document is crucial for protecting both parties' interests while ensuring clear allocation of responsibilities and rights in domain name usage.
