Custom Modules
- A Custom Module is a software system that we build specifically for a Customer. It may contain any number of components, including, screens, reports and code writen specifically to the needs of a customer.
- Custom modules are dependent on SiteSwitch to run, however they are seperate in that SiteSwitch is not dependent on them.
- The code remains our Intelectual Property however we grant our Customer an exclusive license to use the Custom Model in its own business.
- We will keep the source code and secrets of a Custom Module private and for the exclusive use of our Customer and its licensed users.
- Custom Modules can be licensed to third party companies at the descretion of the Customer the Module was bulit for.
- Siteswitch hosting is charged per domain and can be setup as either a shared instance or a stand alone instance.
Core System Modules
- Any code that is not specific to a Customer will become part of the Core System and the source code will become closed.
- Components that form part of the core system are supported as part of that system and are re-usable in the software and custom modules we build for other customers. If we extend a Core System Module to suit the needs of a specific Customer, then the extended features will become available to all Siteswitch customers.
