Brainstorm and create a software agreement for your new app. The following sections are commonly included in a software license and should be included:
Restrictions on Use
What are users not allowed to do with your app?
Copyright Infringement/Intellectual Property
What part of your app will you protect from being reused? The code, logo, brand, etc?
What are users allowed to do with the photos they take? Are they their property or yours?
Warranty Disclaimer
Inform users that you are not responsible for improving your app.
Limitations of Liability
Inform users that you are not responsible for malfunctions due to downloading the app.
Indemnification
Inform users that they are responsible for any damages or legal actions arising from their use of the app.
Termination
Outline the circumstances under which you, as the app owner, can terminate the user's license to use the app.
Updates and Maintenance
Specify your ability to make updates or modifications to the app, and whether users are required to install such updates.
Privacy Policy
Include a section informing users about how their personal information will be collected, stored, and used.
Governing Law
Specify which jurisdiction's laws will govern any disputes between the user and the app owner.
Entire Agreement
State that the software agreement represents the entire agreement between the user and the app owner, and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings.
Severability
Include a clause stating that if any part of the software agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will still be valid and enforceable.
Dispute Resolution
Outline the procedure for resolving any disputes or claims that may arise between the user and the app owner, such as through arbitration or mediation.
User Feedback
Inform users that feedback, suggestions, or ideas submitted to the app owner may be used without any obligation to compensate the user.
User Support
Specify the availability of user support, including any limitations or charges for such support.
Applicable Devices and Platforms
Indicate the specific devices and operating systems on which the app is intended to be used, and any limitations or compatibility issues.
By including these sections and appropriately phrasing them, you can create a comprehensive software agreement for your new app. It is important to consult with a legal professional to ensure all necessary legal requirements are met and to tailor the agreement to your specific app and target audience.
