Description

Computer software is often developed to meet the end user's special requirements. Although designed to the customer's specifications, the underlying copyrights and patents, as well as any trade secrets embodied in the software design, are the developer's property unless the developer is prepared to transfer these rights to the end user, which rarely happens. The customer's sole protection against the developer licensing the software to others is to ensure that for a specified time the developer will not license the software for a competitive use. The developer will want to make certain that its copyright, patent, and trade secrets are protected through a confidentiality agreement that is part of the development contract. In this agreement, the consultant is not only paid an hourly rate, but is also paid a percentage of the net profits (as defined in the agreement) resulting from the software the consultant develops. A New Mexico Consultant Agreement with Sharing of Software Revenues is a legally binding contract between a consultant and a software company based in New Mexico.

In this type of agreement, the consultant agrees to share a portion of the software revenues with the company in exchange for their services.

There are several types of New Mexico Consultant Agreements with Sharing of Software Revenues, each varying in the specific terms and conditions. These can include: 1. Standard Revenue Sharing Agreement: This agreement sets forth a predetermined percentage or formula for revenue sharing between the consultant and the software company. The consultant may receive a fixed percentage of the software revenues generated. 2. Tiered Revenue Sharing Agreement: This type of agreement offers different levels or tiers of revenue sharing based on the achievement of set performance milestones or sales targets. The consultant's share of the software revenues increases as they meet or surpass these milestones. 3. Time-Based Revenue Sharing Agreement: In this agreement, the consultant's revenue share may vary over time. For example, the consultant might receive a higher percentage of the software revenues during the initial launch phase, and then a lower percentage in subsequent periods. 4. Product Specific Revenue Sharing Agreement: Some agreements may be specific to a certain software product or service. This type of agreement outlines the revenue sharing terms and conditions for a specific software offering, allowing the consultant to focus exclusively on that product. 5. Exclusive Revenue Sharing Agreement: This agreement grants exclusivity to the consultant in representing the software company. It ensures that the consultant is the sole representative or reseller of the software and in return, they receive a higher percentage of the software revenues.
