Contract Drafting for IT Companies

When carrying out activities in the field of IT technologies, owners and heads of business and startups are faced with the need to draw up and conclude a number of legal documents, such as:

1.      foreign economic agreements;

2.      license and sublicensing agreements, software development agreements;

3.      site agreements (User Agreement, Privacy Policy, Paid Services Rules);

4.      promotion / technical support / tracking contract;

5.      personnel documents of programmers;

6.      documents regulating the trade secrets regime and other documents.

At the same time, such agreements in the field of IT technologies are distinguished by subjects of legal regulation, as well as signs of different types of agreements and, they are considered to be mixed agreements. This makes the lawyers of our company enhance the protection of the rights and interests of clients.

In addition, the types of contracts may differ depending on the scheme of interaction between the parties. Therefore, in one situation it is advisable to conclude a subscribers agreement for software development, in others - one-time service agreement. One type of cooperation is related to an agreement on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, otherwise - to prepayment or combining different payment methods. In some conditions of interaction between the parties, it is possible to conclude a contract with a fixed price; in others, it will be impractical or impossible.

The work of the employees of Beliaevs & Partners LLC on the drafting the contract includes several stages:

·        study of the planned interaction scheme;

·        selection of the optimal legal draft of a contract, according to the conditions and the interaction scheme of the parties

·        determination of the procedure for concluding a contract and liability issues;

·        resolving issues of transfer of exclusive rights to an intellectual property object;

·        submission of the draft contract to the client for study, according to the results of which the necessary clarifications are made.

We recommend you to choose carefully the type of a contract that will govern your legal relations with the counterparty, as well as its terms, because each contract has not only its own characteristics, but also tax consequences.
