The Lifetime Software License agreement is designed for situations where a software provider wishes to grant permanent, perpetual access to their software product in exchange for a one-time fee. This agreement type is particularly relevant in New Zealand's growing technology sector, where businesses and individuals seek long-term software ����ֱ��s without recurring licensing costs. The document ensures compliance with New Zealand's legal framework, including the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, Copyright Act 1994, and Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. It outlines comprehensive terms covering perpetual usage rights, intellectual property protection, warranty provisions, and support options. This agreement is commonly used for standard software packages, business applications, and specialized software tools where the provider is willing to grant indefinite usage rights rather than subscription-based access.
