Licensing
Different work, different terms.
ERPDz software products can be bought under a perpetual licence — paid for once, not rented — where that applies. Custom applications and websites are different: each is governed by its own project agreement.
How our work is sold
Software products
Finished ERPDz products, sold as they are.
Terms
A perpetual licence where applicable: one payment, and the right to keep using the version you bought. Each product’s page states the terms that apply to it.
Custom applications
Applications and systems developed for one organisation, to its specification.
Terms
Set by the individual project agreement.
Websites
Websites and web platforms designed and built for your organisation.
Terms
Delivery, hosting, maintenance, source code and ownership are set by the project agreement.
In writing
Nothing assumed. Everything written down.
Whether it is a software licence, a custom application or a website, you will know before you commit what is delivered, what support is included, and what happens afterwards.
What a project agreement covers
Custom applications and websites are built for one client, so their terms are agreed one project at a time — in writing, before work begins.
Delivery
What is built, what is handed over at the end, and when.
Hosting
Where it runs, and who is responsible for keeping it online.
Maintenance
What support is included, for how long, and on what terms after that.
Source code & ownership
Who owns the design, the content and the code — and whether the source code is handed over.
Licensing questions
Is every ERPDz product sold under a perpetual licence?
Not necessarily. Where a software product is sold under a perpetual licence, its page says so and sets out the terms that apply. Custom applications and websites are covered by their own project agreements.
Do websites and custom applications work the same way?
No. Each has its own written agreement, which sets out delivery, hosting, maintenance, source code and ownership. Nothing is assumed; it is agreed before work starts.
Can we get the source code?
Not as standard for software products: a licence gives you the right to use the software, not its code. For custom applications and websites, whether the source code is handed over is set out in the project agreement.
