Document background
The Software License Reseller Agreement is essential for software companies looking to expand their market reach through indirect sales channels in South Africa. This document is typically used when a software company wants to authorize third parties to resell their software products while maintaining control over distribution and protecting their intellectual property rights. The agreement must comply with South African legislation, including the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, Protection of Personal Information Act, and Consumer Protection Act. It contains detailed provisions on licensing rights, territory definitions, pricing structures, support obligations, and performance requirements. This agreement is particularly important for international software companies entering the South African market through local distribution partners, as it helps establish clear guidelines for the reseller relationship while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
