Managing your IT relationships
When the implementation of new systems or a new website works well, the dividends for supplier and customer can be immense. However, if things are delayed, or the agreed specification cannot be delivered, then who is to bear the cost? If things go wrong, you need to be as well protected as you can be.
When acquiring or providing IT solutions, software or hardware, you need to know that the relevant rights are correctly assigned or licensed, and that you manage your risks appropriately. Aaron & Partners LLP can provide, prepare or advise on agreements relating to software development, software licensing, and escrow agreements.
If you supply IT solutions, we’ll make sure that your contracts will give you a fair degree of protection without driving your customers away. If you are taking on more risks than you think is fair, we can help you to assess the likely severity of them (bearing in mind that not all exclusions or limitations of liability are lawful) so that you can choose whether or not to accept the terms or seek an alternative.
