A software license is not clearly a sale of goods, so whether UCC Article 2 applies is contested and courts have split on it. The agreement therefore states its own warranty, disclaimer and remedy terms rather than relying on the Code’s defaults, and a disclaimer of implied warranties must be conspicuous to be effective where the Code does apply. Royalty terms turn on the metric. A per-seat, per-processor or usage-based fee each requires a defined counting method, a reporting period and an audit right, and in a cross-border license the currency of calculation and the allocation of foreign withholding tax have to be stated separately. On the licensor’s bankruptcy, § 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code lets the licensee elect to retain its rights if the trustee rejects the license, provided it continues paying royalties. Source code escrow is what makes that election usable, since the right to use the software is of little value without access to maintain it.
