For software, it is simultaneously important that a license agreement does not attempt to contract out of rights that are mandatory by law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe template therefore pays special attention to \u003cstrong\u003eSections 26g and 26h of the Copyright Act\u003c\/strong\u003e. Any person entitled to use a computer program has, under the conditions of the law, certain rights including necessary backup copying, studying the function of the program, and decompilation when necessary for interoperability. Contractual terms restricting some of these rights are invalid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, the template does not use an absolute prohibition against all reverse engineering regardless of law, but ties the restriction to what is legally permitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSaaS and cloud services\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppendix 8 can be used for SaaS, APIs, and other digital technology, but a SaaS arrangement normally involves more issues than the license itself – such as operations, hosting, SLA, backup, support, data export, and information security.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor comprehensive SaaS services, the License Agreement should therefore be combined with or replaced by a specific SaaS\/cloud service agreement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTrademark license under Swedish law\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6 of the Trademarks Act (2010:1877)\u003c\/strong\u003e contains special rules regarding licenses.
