OVER THE EXTERNAL MODULES Clause Samples
The "Over the External Modules" clause defines the rights and obligations related to the use, integration, or interaction with external software modules within a larger project or system. Typically, this clause clarifies whether external modules—such as third-party libraries or plug-ins—are covered by the same terms as the main software, or if they are governed by separate licenses. For example, it may specify that external modules are not included under the main agreement, or that their use is permitted only under certain conditions. The core function of this clause is to delineate the boundaries of the agreement, ensuring that both parties understand which components are included and which are excluded, thereby preventing legal ambiguity regarding third-party software.
OVER THE EXTERNAL MODULES. The Licensee who develops an External Module is the owner of the intellectual property rights over this External Module as defined by applicable law and is free to choose the type of agreement that shall govern its distribution.
