‘Click-wrap’ software end-user licence agreement (EULA)—business-to-business

Precedents

This is a Precedent ‘click-wrap’ software end-user licence agreement (EULA) to be entered into between two businesses in relation to package software. Such a EULA would usually be presented as the licensor’s standard terms and it would be very unusual for there to be any negotiation. As such, this precedent is drafted from the perspective of, and favours, the licensor.
