Background on UCITA
The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) is a 350-page
proposed new law. It will govern all contracts for the development, sale,
licensing,
maintenance, and support of computer software, plus most contracts for
information (such as books) in digital form. Vendors of other products that
contain software,
such as computers, can also bring their products within the scope of UCITA,
rather than Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, a law that is much
friendlier to
consumers and small businesses.
In various forms, UCITA has been under development for about 12 years. For the
last four years, it was called Article 2B and was drafted as a proposed
amendment to
the Uniform Commercial Code.
