Software Licence Agreement and EULA

A Software Licence Agreement sets out terms and conditions for users to agree to before they can access and use your software. It should provide clarity around who owns what, the terms under which customers can access the software and how data will be dealt with.

It’s also a great way to protect your liability as a business in case anything goes wrong.

When individual users download and use your software for different purposes, there is a higher level of risk involved. So, you want to make sure they’re using your software right.

This is where an End User Licence Agreement (EULA) comes in. It sets out terms that users need to agree to before they can use your software. It will protect your business by covering matters like prohibiting copyright infringement, prohibiting reverse engineering, rules around installing the software and termination for misuse of the software.

Our package starts from $1900 + GST and includes drafting a Software Licence Agreement and EULA in accordance with your business’ requirements, phone consultations with our expert legal team and a complimentary amendment to the final draft we provide you.

We operate completely online, which means we can help you wherever you are in New Zealand. We have office spaces in Sydney, and in Melbourne, but our use of technology allows our team members to work remotely from around the world. Our legal team are mostly based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. We also have a London office for Sprintlaw UK.

Our legal team is made up of experienced lawyers, who are specialists in various areas of law and hold an Australian legal practising certificate. None of our Sprintlaw lawyers are New Zealand qualified lawyers and they do not currently hold a New Zealand practising certificate. They provide legal services working remotely from Australia via our ‘legal consultancy’ model, through which (under section 6 and section 35 of the New Zealand Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006) our Australian legal team are permitted to provide legal services to New Zealand businesses provided they do not provide services in certain ‘reserved’ areas of law. You can read our FAQ page to learn a bit more about our ‘legal consultancy’ model.

Given the strong similarities between Australian and New Zealand law, and the areas of law in which we practice (being small business and startup law), we do not view the fact that our lawyers have not qualified in New Zealand as having any substantive impact on the quality of our service. We are committed to ensuring that we provide high quality, affordable legal services to all our New Zealand clients.

Our legal team have all trained at leading Australian firms, but have left the traditional corporate law world to join us on our mission to create a new and better way of delivering legal services. They have specialist expertise in technology law, intellectual property law, contract drafting and review, corporate law and commercial law.
