Časté otázky k tejto službe
It should cover the scope and specification of the work, milestones, acceptance, price, change requests, defects, warranties, rights to the software, documentation and the terms for ending the project.
It is not advisable to rely on assumptions. The scope of rights to the source code and the resulting software should be set out expressly in the contract according to the parties' business model.
The contract should define testing, acceptance criteria, deadlines for comments and the procedure when defects are found, so that it is clear when a given stage is considered delivered.
It is advisable to have a change mechanism that determines who may request a change, how its impact on price and timeline is assessed and when the change becomes part of the project.
The contract should regulate termination, handover of work in progress, documentation and access credentials, and settlement of rights so that the client can continue the project.
