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:
- Software — product name, version, deployment model (desktop / mobile / SaaS / cloud / embedded)
- License model — perpetual, subscription, usage-based, freemium, or trial
- User population — B2C, B2B, or mixed; users under 13 (COPPA trigger)
- Geography — US-only, EU, or global (drives GDPR, CCPA applicability)
- Data collected — personal data categories; PHI (HIPAA), financial (GLBA), student (FERPA), payment (PCI-DSS)
- Third-party components — open-source (copyleft vs. permissive) or proprietary
- App store — Apple App Store, Google Play, or direct distribution
- 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
