Home Use
Understanding this form
The Home Use rider is an important legal document that supplements a software/services master agreement order form. It specifically allows an employee to install and use a licensed copy of the specified software on one home or portable computer. This form is distinct from usual licensing agreements because it outlines the limitations and responsibilities associated with using software outside of a corporate environment.
Form components explained
- Identification of the software licensed under the order.
- Choice between using all non-networked computer software or only software on a specified list.
- Conditions for usage on one home or portable computer controlled by the employee.
- Declaration that the software cannot be loaded or stored on multiple computers simultaneously.
- Customer liability for unauthorized software use by employees.
- Signatures of both the vendor and customer, along with printed names and titles.
When to use this document
This form should be used when a customerâs employee needs to install software at home for work purposes. It is particularly relevant for remote work scenarios, where employees require access to specific software on their personal devices. Utilizing this form ensures compliance with the licensing agreement, clarifying usage rights and restrictions associated with the software.
