How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Software Development Agreement in New Hampshire

For software development agreements, the scope of work and payment terms are the most important provisions. The agreement should also address Intellectual property issues, such as copyright ownership. The most important provision in all contracts is what law governs the agreement. If parties are across state lines or from different countries, what law governs the agreement and in what venue do the parties agree to handle the dispute are pertinent. Also, whether arbitration or mediation is mandatory should be included in the contract. Confidentiality and Nondisclosure provisions are essential also. Other provisions involve change requests, warranties, indemnification, and termination clauses.
