All text, graphics, layout, code, logos and the underlying compilation of this site are owned by SoftwareContractNegotiation Ltd or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. You may print or download individual pages for personal and internal business reference, with attribution preserved. Any other reuse, including republication or commercial redistribution, requires our prior written consent.

White papers, playbooks and case studies

Our white papers, playbooks and case studies are made available free of charge in exchange for a small set of contact details. They are licensed to you for internal, non-commercial use within your organisation. They may not be redistributed, republished, sold, or used as the basis for a derivative work or a consulting deliverable to a third party.

Forms, newsletter and enquiries

By submitting a form you confirm that the information is accurate and that you are authorised to share it. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in every email.

No professional advice

The content on this site is provided for general information and discussion only. It is not legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, investment advice or a substitute for professional consultation on your specific situation. Reading this site, downloading a white paper, or attending one of our webinars does not create a client relationship between you and SoftwareContractNegotiation Ltd. A client relationship arises only once both parties have signed an engagement letter that sets out scope, fees and deliverables.

We do not resell software, do not accept referral fees, do not hold partner status, and do not receive compensation from any vendor in any form. Vendor names, product names and logos referenced on this site are used solely for identification and analysis under fair use; their appearance does not imply endorsement of, by, or any commercial relationship with that vendor.

This site may link to third-party websites for reference. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, privacy practices or availability. A link is not an endorsement.
