Software Maintenance Agreement

A Software Maintenance Agreement is often prepared by a software technician to record the terms of an arrangement made with a client. When it is drafted properly, this essential legal agreement may help to limit the likelihood of disagreements between the signers. Different from the generic templates that you might download elsewhere, each Software Maintenance Contract that is built on Rocket Lawyer comes with the option of Document Defense^®, so an On Call attorney can assess the situation and take action if you need to demand payment or have another issue.

Regardless of how long your business has been in operation, it's critical to record the details of your work in a contract. Using this document could be good for you due to the following benefits:

• The software technician and client both understand the scope of their responsibilities
• Both parties know when invoicing will happen
• Neither party is surprised by how long the engagement lasts

In the end, if you and/or the client fail to sign a Software Maintenance Contract, you might not be able to enjoy all of the associated benefits and protections.

The specific details that you should plan to cover are:

• Contact information for your client
• How much it will cost and when payment is due
• What the start and end dates are
• What tasks you will be doing once hired

As expected, your agreement from Rocket Lawyer also contains the typical language with regard to the non-employment relationship, the protection of confidential information, the method(s) of dispute resolution, and finally, indemnity. During the process of making your contract, you also can decide which state's jurisdiction it will fall under. Using the Rocket Lawyer document tool, you have the ability to make additional custom alterations, as needed.

Luckily, you won't need to pay hundreds of dollars to get your contract in writing. When using Rocket Lawyer, anyone can draft a free Software Maintenance Agreement today. Your contract will be constructed section by section, as you answer simple questions to enter details. Simply tap or click on "Make document" above to begin.
