CONT

This click-wrap licence Agreement is a user licence (for either a single or a corporate licensee) for software either downloaded from a [website] or loaded from disk, where the licence terms are accepted on screen by following a "click to accept" procedure. The terms of the Click-Wrap Licence must be brought to the attention of the user who should acknowledge acceptance by clicking on the appropriate button(s) following the licence agreement before installing the software.

CONT

The Agreement can be used as a click-wrap license displayed on screen and accepted during product installation. It can also be used as a Shrink-Wrap License in product packaging.

CONT

It should be noted however that even though courts have ruled some clickwrap licenses to be enforceable contracts, it does not follow that every term of every clickwrap license is enforceable. Clickwrap licenses must still meet the criteria for enforceability of a unilateral form contract.

Subject field(s)

  • Electronic Commerce
CONT

Browse-wrap agreements usually consist of a link or a button within a webpage to direct the user to another page that displays the terms and conditions of use of the website. For example, merely browsing or visiting a webpage may be sufficient to communicate assent to a set of terms linked off of it. In some circumstances, the downloading of website content may also constitute valid communication of acceptance.

CONT

[...] there is no reason why browse-wrap contracts should be subjected to stricter requirements for validity (e.g., proof that the other party read the agreement and that he or she intended to be bound) when in most instances browse-wrap contracts comply with the basic minimum requirements of validity.

OBS

A browse-wrap agreement assumes that by browsing a website the user has accepted the agreement, regardless of whether the terms are brought to the user's attention.
