The Standard Use License agreement is essential for businesses and individuals in India who wish to grant or receive rights to use proprietary materials, software, content, or other intellectual property. This document type is commonly used when a licensor wants to maintain ownership while allowing controlled use of their intellectual property by third parties. The agreement must comply with Indian legislation, including the Indian Contract Act 1872, Copyright Act 1957, and Information Technology Act 2000. It includes comprehensive terms covering license scope, usage rights, restrictions, payment terms, warranties, and liability limitations. The document is particularly relevant in today's digital economy where licensing of software, content, and other intellectual property is increasingly common.
