Answers · Ownership and handover

Who owns the code when you hire someone to build software?

It depends on the contract, so read it before you sign. Some developers keep ownership and license the software back to you. With Loque Logic, you own the code outright once the final invoice is paid, with no licence fees.

What to look for in a contract

Look for who owns the code, whether you pay a licence fee to keep using it, where the code and data live, and what happens if you end the relationship. If the contract is silent, ask.

How Loque Logic handles it

The code lives in your repository and runs in your cloud accounts from the first commit. On final payment, it’s yours outright. We keep the right to reuse general-purpose modules we write in other builds, but nothing specific to your business goes with them: not your data, your rules or your configuration.

You can end ongoing support on 90 days’ notice and keep everything, with no exit fee.
