Software License

Using software outside your licence scope can trigger six-figure audit claims.

Software licences define the exact scope of permitted use β€” number of users, devices, deployment environments, and permitted copying. Licence non-compliance, even unintentional, can result in audits, back-billing, and litigation. BrieflyGo maps your actual rights before you deploy.

Risks that can be hidden in this document

Audit rights

Vendor can audit your usage at any time; findings of over-deployment lead to back-payment demands plus penalties.

Narrow deployment rights

"On-premises" licence used in a cloud VM is a licence violation β€” even on your own virtual infrastructure.

No sublicensing

Distributing a product that includes licensed components without a sublicence right exposes you to claims.

IP indemnification gaps

You may be liable if the licensed software infringes a third party’s IP β€” even as end user.
