Available in Word format. Guam Author Oriented Software Royalty and License Agreement (AORTA) is a legal contract designed to protect the rights and interests of authors of software in Guam. This agreement establishes the terms and conditions under which authors can distribute, license, and monetize their software products while ensuring fair compensation for their intellectual property. The Guam AORTA encompasses various types of agreements tailored to meet specific requirements and circumstances. These agreements may include: 1. Standard Royalty and License Agreement: This is the most basic type of AORTA, outlining the general terms and conditions associated with software distribution and licensing. It typically covers areas such as intellectual property ownership, permitted uses, royalties, licensing fees, and duration of the agreement. 2. Exclusive License Agreement: This agreement grants exclusive rights to a single licensee, meaning that no other party can distribute or license the software during the agreement's validity. The licensee often pays higher royalties or licensing fees in exchange for this exclusivity. 3. Non-Exclusive License Agreement: In this type of agreement, the author can grant multiple licenses to different parties simultaneously. This allows for wider distribution and potential increased revenue streams, as multiple licensees can distribute and sell the software. 4. Perpetual License Agreement: A perpetual license agreement grants the licensee the right to use the software indefinitely, without any specific end date. The licensee pays a one-time fee or periodic royalties for continued usage. 5. Limited Term License Agreement: This agreement allows the licensee to use the software for a specified period, typically for a fixed number of years. After the term expires, the licensee must either renew the agreement or cease to use the software. 6. Multiple Usage Royalty Agreement: This type of AORTA caters to software that can be used by multiple end-users or on multiple devices. The author receives royalties based on the total number of units sold or the total revenue generated from the software's usage. The Guam AORTA also covers provisions for regular audits to ensure compliance with the agreement terms, dispute resolution mechanisms, and any additional terms mutually agreed upon by the author and licensee. It is crucial for both parties to carefully review and negotiate the terms of the agreement to protect their interests and establish a fair and mutually beneficial partnership.
