Over deze dienst
Hiring a software developer or building software for a client without an airtight contract is a recipe for scope creep, non-payment, and disputed ownership of your source code.
I am a licensed US Attorney. I draft customized Software Development Agreements tailored to protect either the Client (securing 100% clean IP title) or the Developer (protecting proprietary background frameworks and ensuring payment).
Core Protections Included in This Agreement:
- Unambiguous IP Assignment: Proper "work made for hire" and present-assignment language ensuring clean title transfers under US Copyright Law (17 U.S.C. § 204).
- Scope Creep & Change Order Management: Formal procedures for modifying specs, timelines, and budgets.
- Acceptance Testing & Milestones: Precise review periods, objective acceptance criteria, and deemed-acceptance triggers.
- Open Source Software (OSS) Controls: Warranties ensuring no restrictive open-source licenses (GPL, AGPL) contaminate proprietary code.
- Source Code Delivery & Escrow: Clear rules for repository access, documentation, and asset handoff.
Protect your software investment. Choose your package to get started.

Veelgestelde vragen
Why is standard "work made for hire" language not enough for software?
Under US Copyright Law, independent contractor software development does not automatically qualify as a "work made for hire" without an explicit written present assignment ("hereby assigns"). My agreements ensure total, enforc
Can this contract protect a developer's background code and libraries?
Yes. If you are a developer, I include Background IP and Developer Tools reservations so you grant a license for the custom deliverable while retaining your reusable core components.
How does the agreement handle open-source software (OSS)?
The contract includes representations that no copyleft or viral licenses (such as GPL/AGPL) will be introduced that would force the proprietary codebase to become public.
What is the acceptance testing procedure?
It outlines a specific window (e.g., 5 to 10 business days) for the client to test milestones against functional specifications, with explicit "deemed accepted" provisions if no written notice is provided.
Are these contracts suitable for offshore or overseas developers?
Yes. I draft US-jurisdiction agreements with cross-border assignment provisions enforceable against international engineering teams and remote contractors.
