The contract Annex is intended to help software developers and their clients negotiate and capture important contractual terms and conditions related to the security of the software to be developed or delivered. The language in the Annex may be used whole, in part, or as tailored to communication requirements in a work statement or stated as terms and conditions. The Annex can be obtained from: http://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Secure_Software_Contract_Annex" and "Application Security Procurement Language - Application Security Procurement Language ... These guidelines incorporate substantial language from the OWASP Secure Software Contract Annex. These help enable buyers of custom software to more explicitly make code writers responsible for checking the code and for fixing security flaws before software is delivered."
