Software Non-Bug Fix Improvements Clause Samples
The Software Non-Bug Fix Improvements clause defines how enhancements or modifications to software, which are not related to correcting errors or bugs, are managed between the parties. Typically, this clause outlines the process for implementing new features, performance upgrades, or other functional changes that go beyond routine maintenance or bug fixes. For example, it may specify whether such improvements are included in the scope of services, who owns the rights to these enhancements, or if additional fees apply. The core purpose of this clause is to clarify expectations and responsibilities regarding software evolution, preventing disputes over ownership, costs, and the scope of ongoing development.
