Document background
This One Time Software License agreement template is designed for use under German law when a software provider wishes to grant a permanent, one-time license to a user or organization. It is particularly suitable for standalone software products where a perpetual license is being granted in exchange for a one-time fee. The document incorporates mandatory provisions required under German law, including specific warranty obligations under the BGB (German Civil Code) and software protection provisions under the UrhG (German Copyright Act). It addresses key aspects such as license scope, usage rights, intellectual property protection, and liability limitations while ensuring compliance with German consumer protection laws where applicable. The agreement is structured to provide clear terms for both licensor and licensee while maintaining enforceability under German jurisdiction.
