Leasing vs purchasing BlueBox software

22 Jun 2010 - Posted by The BlueBox under News.

An answer to this frequently asked question.
The standard BlueBox payment model involves leasing the software modules you require on a month to month basis however if you are not interested in that you can choose to "own" the software you use. Please note that code ownership is not possible. All BlueBox clients use the same software base platform, and although individual modules may be configured or customised to suit a clients specific requirements, the vast majority of the software is standard BlueBox code and the software thus remains BlueBox's intellectual property.

Although the software or code remains the property of the BlueBox, and cannot be "sold" to our customers, we do offer the the option for customers to purchase, in advance, a 99 year license, which in effect gives the client the level of system ownership they require. The BlueBox calculates the value of this purchase at a rate of three years rental of the module price.
