How a Computer Software Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft an End User License Agreement in Illinois

In 2022, a business based in Colorado sought assistance in Illinois for drafting a new End User License Agreement to ensure compliance with state tax regulations. Having previously used a 'click-through' agreement, the client needed modifications to align with Illinois non-taxable software rules, specifically Title 86 Part 130 Section 130.1935. Additionally, the client required an electronic signature option for every sale and sought clarification on the tax implications of optional maintenance plans offered alongside software licenses. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed attorney, with flat fee bids ranging from $1,200, all submitted to meet the client's requested timeline of over one week.
