If you can’t understand it – don’t sign it! Takeaways from the Users-only X-change on negotiating software contracts. 02 October 2018
Licence contracts can be confusing by design. They are far from transparent, and there is little room for negotiation. Beltug has been touching on this issue for several years, including speaking with software suppliers and other stakeholders, creating the Proposal for a Software Publishers’ Code of Conduct (CoC) and, recently, transposing its principles into concrete contract clauses.
02 / 10 / 18
During this session, we had a look at the importance of a solid contract, for both parties. Next, we focussed on the contract clause models that have been built, and how you can use them. Finally, we zoomed in on software procurement in the public sector.
The presentations from the event are available, exclusively for Beltug members (after login).
