I will draft comprehensive software licensing and subscription agreements
About this Gig
If you are licensing software, your contract is the only thing standing between your intellectual property and unauthorized distribution. I am William Edward Jacobs, a licensed US Attorney (Bar #61604), and I draft aggressive, precise software licensing and subscription agreements.
Whether you are distributing on-premise software via an End User License Agreement (EULA) or licensing an enterprise solution with seat-based metrics, I ensure your usage rights are strictly defined and legally enforceable.
What is included:
- Grant of License: Defining exactly what the user can (and cannot) do with the software.
- Usage Restrictions: Strict bans on reverse engineering, decompiling, or white-labeling.
- Audit Rights: Giving you the legal right to audit B2B clients to ensure license compliance.
- Subscription Metrics: Clear definitions of per-seat, per-device, or per-server licensing.
- Disclaimers of Warranty: Limiting your legal liability if the software causes downtime.
Protect your revenue stream and your code.

FAQ
What is the difference between an EULA and a B2B License?
An EULA is typically a non-negotiable "click-wrap" agreement for end consumers. A B2B License is a heavier contract signed between two companies.
Can you include Open Source Software (OSS) disclosures?
Yes, let me know in the requirements if your software utilizes open-source components.
Do you include audit rights?
Yes, the Standard and Premium packages include clauses allowing you to audit the buyer to ensure they aren't overusing the license.
Can we restrict reverse engineering?
Absolutely. Strict anti-reverse engineering and anti-decompilation clauses are standard in my drafts.
