Information Technology Agreements
Almost every business uses computers and therefore needs information technology (IT) contracts. These may be concerned with straightforward purchases of hardware, standard software licences or outsourcing agreements which provide for a third party to supply hardware and software and maintain the IT system on behalf of the business. Some businesses prefer to rent or lease hardware (and in some cases software), in order to spread the cost of acquisition over a longer period.
Most businesses also have a web presence, often developed and maintained by a third party. A contract setting out the terms on which this is done, who owns the intellectual property and what costs are likely to be incurred, can avoid misunderstandings and costly litigation at a later date.
Businesses which transact via the internet will need terms and conditions for their customers, incorporating the legal requirements of various regulations including those covering distance selling and e-commerce.
As technology develops, businesses are expanding their ranges of services and methods of delivery and often tailor-made contracts are required for new areas of e-commerce.
Borneos has the expertise to help businesses both providing and receiving IT services. Our lawyers are also experienced in assisting businesses which wish to take advantage of new technologies to advance their commercial activities.
