The Software Customer's Bill of Rights establishes a fundamental shift in the balance of power from the software vendor to you - the software customer. Software vendors have traditionally used their license agreements to exercise control over their customers, but HarrisData is supporting the Software Customer's Bill of Rights and putting the customers first - starting with a license agreement founded on terms favorable to the customer.

Compare your software vendor's licensing policies to the Software Customer's Bill of Rights, and see if you're getting what you deserve.
