Software Development Agreement Poland
Whether you’re hiring a Polish software house, formalizing a relationship with an in-house dev team, or negotiating an IT outsourcing agreement, the contract you sign determines who owns the code, what happens if the project fails, and how disputes get resolved. KBiW advises US and international companies on software development contracts, code ownership and IT legal matters in Poland – bridging US business expectations with Polish and EU law.
Legal services covering:
Software Development Agreements & Code Ownership
- Drafting and reviewing software development agreements and contracts with individual developers, dev teams or software houses in Poland
- Structuring IP/copyright transfer clauses so your company — not the contractor — owns the resulting code
- Advising on work-for-hire vs. license structures under Polish copyright law (which differs materially from US work-made-for-hire rules)
- Milestone, acceptance and payment structures that protect you if a project is delayed or abandoned
IT Outsourcing & Software House Cooperation Agreements
- Negotiating and drafting IT outsourcing agreements with Polish software houses and staff-augmentation vendors
- Reviewing NDAs, MSAs and SOWs before you sign with a Polish IT contractor
- Structuring liability, SLA and termination clauses appropriate for cross-border projects
- Support in disputes with an underperforming or non-delivering vendor
Software License & SaaS Agreements
- Drafting software license agreements for products developed or distributed in Poland
- SaaS agreements covering data processing, uptime, liability caps and termination for US-facing and EU-facing platforms
- Reviewing license terms when acquiring, white-labeling or reselling software built in Poland
- GDPR-aligned data processing clauses for SaaS products handling EU user data
Ongoing IT Legal Services & Contract Review
- Acting as your on-call software lawyer in Poland for recurring contract review and negotiation
- Full legal support for tech companies operating on the US–Poland axis: contracts, IP, corporate structure and compliance
- Point of contact for founders and CTOs who need an IT contract lawyer in Poland without building an in-house legal team
- Practical, business-first advice - not just contract redlines
