      What is What is a Software Development Agreement?

      A Software Development Agreement is a legal contract between a client and a developer (or development company). It defines the scope of the project, ownership of the code, payment structure, confidentiality terms, and dispute resolution mechanisms.

      In India’s growing IT sector, these agreements are crucial for startups, freelancers, and companies to avoid misunderstandings and protect intellectual property rights. Whether you are hiring a developer or offering services, a clear agreement ensures trust and smooth project execution.
