Appendix 5. Software Consulting Agreement (Favors Consultant)

Introductory Note

This is a software consulting agreement with a variety of clauses that “lean” toward Consultant rather than Customer. These include the provisions on the performance obligations of Consultant, acceptance, correction of defects, warranties, intellectual property ownership, and indemnification.

You can contrast these provisions with those of Appendix 6, which is a pro-Customer version of a consulting agreement.

This form is for use when Consultant is a corporation or other legal entity. It will require some modification if Consultant is an individual.

Bracketed language is optional.
