Sample Business Letter-Software Development Agreement

A Custom Software Development Agreement is a legal contract that oversees the relationship between a Software Developer and a Customer. This agreement clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of both contracting parties and clearly details the scope of the services (e.g. software programming, software creation, custom development) that are to be provided.

When entering into such a complex and technical agreement an oral contract is far from sufficient. This document prevents disputes and lays out problem resolution procedures and legal duties. It includes pricing and payment terms, details of the development plan, testing, training, maintenance, ownership, warranties, intellectual property, etc.

A Service Level Agreement is a contract between a Service Provider and a Client that specifies a certain level of service to be provided.

If in the course of business, guaranteed service levels are not met then the Client is entitled to receive monetary compensation, as specified in this contract.
