Ownership of Materials Sample Clauses

The 'Ownership of Materials' clause establishes who holds the legal rights to materials, documents, or work products created or used during a contractual relationship. Typically, this clause specifies whether the client or the service provider retains ownership of deliverables such as reports, designs, software code, or intellectual property developed under the agreement. By clearly defining ownership, the clause prevents future disputes over usage rights and ensures both parties understand their rights to use, modify, or distribute the materials after the contract ends.
