SHRINK-WRAP SOFTWARE LICENSE

This Contract is used to license high-volume, low cost off-the-shelf software distributed on a physical, tangible media such as on a CD or DVD (eg accompanying a program or game). Originally the full licence terms were visable through a clear plastic sealed package surrounding the software CD, DVD or other multi-media discs packaging. Now it is more commonplace for a prominent notice to be placed on the package (instead of the full licence terms) advising the user that “breaking the seal” (usually breaking through the actual notice) to open the package will be deemed acceptance of the full terms of the software license to be found elsewhere (usually contained outside the software package/box or on the software supplier’s website). Contract 2 also contains an example of a typical Notice as well as the full software license terms. For software licences for downloadable software which are “constructively” accepted in other ways see: click-wrap (Contract 61A) and browse-wrap (Contract 61B). Read moreRead more

SOFTWARE LICENSE

Such a license tends to be used for higher value software not obtained ‘off-the-shelf’. The license should be returned signed prior to delivery of the software to ensure that the customer is bound by its terms - and in particular that the customer is aware that it is being granted only a right to “use” the software upon certain conditions (hence the use of a license) and will not “own” the software. For software licences which are “constructively” accepted (ie not signed in ‘wet ink’) see: shrink-wrap (Contract 2), click-wrap (Contract 61A) and browse-wrap (Contract 61B). Read moreRead more
