Shared Software License

"I need a Shared Software License agreement for my enterprise software platform that will be used by three Australian universities, with implementation starting March 2025, including specific provisions for academic research use and student access."

Document background
This Shared Software License agreement is designed for use in situations where software needs to be licensed to multiple parties under Australian law. The document is particularly useful when organizations need to establish consistent terms for multiple users of the same software platform or system. It includes comprehensive provisions for intellectual property protection, usage rights, support services, and liability limitations, all aligned with Australian legal requirements. The agreement is structured to accommodate various licensing models while ensuring compliance with relevant legislation including the Copyright Act 1968, Privacy Act 1988, and Competition and Consumer Act 2010. This document is essential for businesses operating in Australia that need to establish clear, legally compliant terms for shared software usage across multiple users or organizations.
