End-User License Agreement (EULA)

Drafts an enforceable EULA protecting licensor IP, limiting liability, and satisfying consumer protection standards across jurisdictions.

Intake Checklist

Gather before drafting:

1. Software — product name, version, deployment model (desktop / mobile / SaaS / cloud / embedded)
2. License model — perpetual, subscription, usage-based, freemium, or trial
3. User population — B2C, B2B, or mixed; users under 13 (COPPA trigger)
4. Geography — US-only, EU, or global (drives GDPR, CCPA applicability)
5. Data collected — personal data categories; PHI (HIPAA), financial (GLBA), student (FERPA), payment (PCI-DSS)
6. Third-party components — open-source (copyleft vs. permissive) or proprietary
7. App store — Apple App Store, Google Play, or direct distribution
8. Risk posture — arbitration/class-action waiver? IP indemnification? Benchmark restrictions?

Drafting Workflow

1. Header & Acceptance

• Title: "END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT" prominently displayed
• Specify triggering act: install / account creation / first use
• Click-wrap required: scrollable full text, accept button active only after scroll opportunity (ProCD v. Zeidenberg; avoid browse-wrap per Specht v. Netscape)
• Mobile: present in app-store listing + first launch; must not contradict platform terms
• Version date + 30-day advance notice for material amendments; affirmative re-acceptance for paid-tier changes reducing rights

2. Definitions

Term	Scope
Software	Product name, version, included modules
Updates	Bug fixes / security patches (included)
Upgrades	Major versions (may require separate fee)
Authorized Users	Named / concurrent / site license scope
Documentation	Manuals, API docs, specs
Confidential Information	Source code, algorithms, benchmarks, designated materials

3. License Grant

• Non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable for breach, [perpetual / subscription-term]
