Document background
This On Premise Software License Agreement is designed for use in South Africa when a software provider wishes to license their software product for installation and use on a customer's local infrastructure. The agreement is structured to comply with South African legal requirements, including data protection laws (POPIA), consumer protection legislation, and electronic communications regulations. It should be used when the software will be installed and operated on the customer's own servers or infrastructure, rather than being provided as a cloud service. The document includes comprehensive terms covering license grants, usage restrictions, intellectual property rights, maintenance and support, warranties, and liability limitations. It's particularly important for businesses operating in South Africa that need to license software while ensuring compliance with local regulations and protecting both parties' interests in the software licensing relationship.
