What should an entrepreneur who buys the rights to backend applications know?

Question

Law in IT

What an entrepreneur who is poorly versed in application development and application backend needs to know so that the company providing development services to him does not make him dependent on himself and does not "dump" him.

Answer 1

jurisprudence?
Actually, you can consult with the same company to include a clause in the contract that ensures the fulfillment of your condition (for example, providing source codes, executable files and all technical requirements for raising your application independently).

Answer 2

1. You need a well-written contract, which is drawn up by a lawyer with the help of a technical specialist, who will list the requirements for the development and the final product
2. You need a technical specialist to accept the work. You can’t enter this topic in a couple of days, and if it works out, you will obviously miss a bunch of nuances. In addition, after receiving the product, you need to use it somehow, which means that it is most likely to be launched somewhere in one form or another.
Are you sure you want to do this yourself?

Answer 3

Well, they will give you the source code, so what? Even a specialist will not always understand them.
You need a consultation of a third-party uninterested (except for money for consultation) specialist - what you need to give in your particular case. Let him look and say - now, if they give me this and that, then on this and this I will be able to cock the system for you, regardless of the developers.

Answer 4

You are a customer, software (software) is developed according to your wishes ... Software is a tool that allows you to solve certain tasks, so formulate tasks, write with the executor of the technical specification, where the executor will explain how all this can be implemented and what tools / technologies to use, etc. etc.... this way the technical side of the issue will become more or less clear to you, then it remains to formalize all this, but in legal language, it’s a little more difficult here... you can study this topic yourself (it will be useful, but time-consuming) and using online -services to create a contract, or involve a lawyer...
The main thing in your case is to think about the formulation of the question - tasks, i.e. an understanding of what you want to decide, why and what result you will get from it ... without this understanding, you can be promoted for a long time to implement functions you do not need in your software, respectively, make you dependent ...
