Document background
This document template provides a comprehensive framework for an Evaluation License agreement under New Zealand law, designed for situations where organizations need to allow potential customers to evaluate their products or services before commitment. The agreement is particularly useful for software, technology, and complex product offerings where a trial period is essential for assessment. The Evaluation License includes crucial provisions for protecting intellectual property rights, maintaining confidentiality, and defining the scope and duration of the evaluation period. It addresses key considerations under New Zealand's legal framework, including the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, Fair Trading Act 1986, and relevant intellectual property legislation. The document is structured to balance the licensor's need to protect their intellectual property while providing the evaluator with sufficient access to meaningfully assess the product or service.
