Document background
The Application License Agreement serves as a crucial legal framework for software providers operating in Malaysia who wish to license their applications to businesses or individuals. This document is essential when a software provider needs to establish clear terms for the use of their software while protecting their intellectual property rights and limiting liability. The agreement must comply with Malaysian legislation, particularly the Electronic Commerce Act 2006, Personal Data Protection Act 2010, and Copyright Act 1987. It's typically used when deploying software applications, whether cloud-based or on-premises, and includes provisions for data protection, usage restrictions, payment terms, and service levels. The document is structured to accommodate both B2B and B2C relationships while ensuring compliance with Malaysian consumer protection laws and digital commerce regulations.
