You have built a new picture-taking app complete with new original filters for iOS phones and you are excited to start selling it in the app store! Your friend stops you from listing the app for sale and tells you that you need a software license. She makes a really good point.

Software licenses are notoriously known for being very hard to read and understand. You have tasked yourself with creating a software license that is very easy to understand.

Brainstorm and create a software agreement for your new app. The following sections are commonly included in a software license and should be included:

Restrictions on Use

What are users not allowed to do with your app?
Copyright Infringement/Intellectual Property

What part of your app will you protect from being reused? The code, logo, brand, etc?
What are users allowed to do with the photos they take? Are they their property or yours?
Warranty Disclaimer

Inform users that you are not responsible for improving your app.
Limitations of Liability

Inform users that you are not responsible for malfunctions due to downloading the app.
