Principles of the Law,

Software Contracts

This work is a comprehensive set of legal principles intended to guide the drafting of software contracts and assist in judicial resolution of disputes involving software transactions.

This volume covers standard-form agreements, warranties, and remedies, as well as definitions, scope, and general terms. It enunciates legal principles on issues posed by new technology and addresses matters that often come to state and federal judges without adequate guidance from state contract or commercial law or from federal intellectual property law. The work draws by convincing analogy on traditional legal doctrine that history has tested for efficiency and fairness. The Principles will aid lawyers, persons who are in the software business or who rely on software, and eventually common-law judges and legislators.
