ES&S Software Clause Samples
The "ES&S Software" clause defines the specific software products and related components provided by Election Systems & Software (ES&S) that are covered under the agreement. This clause typically outlines which software applications, modules, or updates are included, and may specify any restrictions on use, licensing terms, or support obligations. By clearly identifying the scope of software involved, the clause ensures both parties understand what is being supplied and used, thereby preventing disputes over software rights, usage, and support responsibilities.
