What does it mean to purchase custom software?
An upfront development purchase and a subscription are different arrangements. It is important to understand what the agreement provides.
Delivered system
The contract should identify the application, features, deployment location, acceptance terms, and which files or access will be handed over.
License and source-code ownership
Buying a working application does not always transfer copyright in every reusable component or third-party library. Your agreement should identify the rights you receive.
Hosting is a separate decision
Customers may choose an optional managed hosting plan or another approved deployment arrangement, based on the system architecture and contract.
Plan for future changes
Distinguish correction of defects in agreed functionality from new features or substantial changes requested later.
