INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Provider IP. Provider retains all right, title, and interest in the SaaS platform, software, documentation, APIs, tools, methodologies, and underlying technology ("Provider IP"). Nothing in this Order Form transfers ownership of Provider IP to Customer.
Customer Data. Customer retains all right, title, and interest in all data, content, and information uploaded to, processed by, or generated through Customer's use of the platform ("Customer Data"). Provider acquires no rights in Customer Data except the limited license granted below.
License Grants:
☐ Provider to Customer: Non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the platform during the Subscription Term for Customer's internal business purposes.
☐ Customer to Provider: Non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, process, store, and transmit Customer Data solely to provide and maintain the services.
Feedback. Customer suggestions or feedback regarding the platform may be used by Provider to improve, enhance, or modify the platform and its related offerings without restriction, obligation, or compensation to Customer.
Customizations:
☐ Custom integrations developed under this Order Form shall be owned by: ☐ Provider (with perpetual license to Customer) ☐ Customer (work for hire) ☐ Jointly owned by both parties
California Practice Note: Work-for-hire ownership is narrowly defined under federal copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 101) and must fall within one of nine enumerated categories to qualify. See Community for Creative Non-Violence v. Reid, 490 U.S. 730 (1989). In California, Cal. Lab. Code § 2870 restricts employer invention assignment clauses: any provision requiring an employee to assign rights in an invention developed entirely on the employee's own time, without use of the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information, is unenforceable as against California public policy unless the invention relates to the employer's business or results from work performed for the employer. Practitioners must ensure that any IP assignment or work-for-hire provisions in this Order Form and any related employment agreements comply with Cal. Lab. Code §§ 2870-2872.
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES
The parties agree that this Order Form and any related documents may be executed by electronic signature, which shall be considered as valid and binding as an original handwritten signature. Electronic signatures are recognized under the California Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (Cal. Civ. Code §§ 1633.1-1633.17) and the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 7001-7031). Each party agrees that its electronic signature shall have the same legal effect, validity, and enforceability as a manually executed signature.

About This Template
A contract is a written record of what two or more parties agreed to and what happens if someone does not follow through. Clear language, defined terms, and clean signature blocks keep disputes small and enforceable. The most common mistakes in contracts come from vague promises, missing details about timing or payment, and skipping standard protective clauses like governing law and dispute resolution.
Important Notice
This template is provided for informational purposes. It is not legal advice. We recommend having an attorney review any legal document before signing, especially for high-value or complex matters.
