Source Code Ownership Sample Clauses
The Source Code Ownership clause establishes who holds the legal rights to the source code developed or used under an agreement. Typically, it specifies whether the client, the developer, or a third party retains ownership, and may outline any exceptions, such as the use of pre-existing code or open-source components. This clause is essential for clarifying intellectual property rights, preventing future disputes, and ensuring that both parties understand their rights to use, modify, or distribute the source code after the project concludes.

Source Code Ownership. Upon the completion of each project ASTRA will deliver the Sourcecode developed during the process of the implementation, to the end-user in the form of magnetic media, hardcopy listing, and shall be complete and fully documented, so that the Company's staff may support and maintain the product. The source code shall become the property of the Company, unless it is a pre-existing piece of code, which may be licensed to the Company and whose ownership rights may reside with ASTRA. The terms and conditions for licensing pre-existing source code will be negotiated separately, and are not within the scope of this Agreement.
