Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act

Read a random definition: disbursement

A quick definition of Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act:

Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act: A set of rules that govern how people buy and use computer software. It's like a big rulebook that helps people make fair deals when they buy or use software. It only applies to software, not other things people buy or sell.

A more thorough explanation:

The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) is a model law that regulates transactions related to software licensing and computer information. It is based on contract law and the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and creates a regulatory framework for licensing transactions.

UCITA applies to contracts for the licensing or purchase of software, contracts for software development, and contracts for access to databases through the Internet. However, it does not cover contracts for goods or services that fall under the scope of the UCC.

  • A company purchases a license to use a software program for their business operations. The terms of the license agreement are governed by UCITA.
  • A software developer enters into a contract with a client to create a custom software program. The terms of the contract are subject to UCITA.
  • A user subscribes to an online database service to access information. The terms of the subscription agreement are regulated by UCITA.

These examples illustrate how UCITA applies to various types of transactions related to software and computer information. The law provides a framework for governing these transactions and protecting the rights of both parties involved.
