A BJUE is similar to a rental agreement in which the purchaser does not rent real estate or physical property, but pays the use of the software in the manner stipulated in the contract. This means that the user complies with all the restrictions specified by the software author or publisher in the LAE. These restrictions may include a lifespan (for example. B a subscription), a limited number of downloads (z.B installation on 5 computers or other electronic devices) and much more. Museum as a licensee: When verifying a license proposed to you, take the time to carefully consider how the conditions were defined, even if they seem at first glance straight. How words are defined should meet your needs and expectations. The definition can affect other parts of the agreement and you always want to make sure that you license content in the way that works for you. An automatic renewal clause is very welcoming in many cases because it means that if both parties are satisfied with the agreement, it will continue and you will not have to renegotiate the licence. If one of the parties is dissatisfied with the license, each party may terminate the licence or begin its renegotiation. However, remember that if you do nothing, then the agreement will be automatically renewed.

Determine whether this is compatible with the operation of your museums, i.e. a contractual obligation automatically intervenes without any concrete action. In other words, while automatic renewal has its advantages, it may mean pursuing a license for an electronic product that you no longer use simply because you have not informed the content owner that the license will not be renewed. Another approach, with a successful licence, is to enter into a contract letter signed by both parties shortly before the end of the licence, in which it is stated that each party wants the licence to be maintained for an additional period, for example. B a year. This is not an automatic extension, but a quick and easy renewal and does not involve a further review of licences and possible negotiations. Museum as a licensee: The more general the description of the content, the greater the content you have access to. In the absence of specific standards or universal models for a licensing agreement, a good licensing agreement is clear to the parties signing it and to the other parties who will use it and apply its terms to certain circumstances. The agreement should therefore define concepts whose meaning may be obscure or that may have more than one meaning. In some cases, the information provided by the buyer is included in the agreement, but this generally applies only to the physically accepted USA during the execution and not to the delivery (because the buyer must be present with the seller to sign).
