Frequently Asked Questions

A EULA (End User License Agreement) is a legal contract between you (the software publisher) and the user. It defines how users can use your software, what's prohibited, and limits your liability. Most software, especially commercial products, needs a EULA to protect intellectual property and set usage terms.

Yes, EULAs are generally legally binding if users accept them before using the software. Courts have upheld EULAs in many cases, though enforceability depends on factors like clarity, conspicuousness, and whether terms are unconscionable. Have a lawyer review your EULA for your specific jurisdiction.

A EULA governs software licenses and usage rights for downloadable software, desktop apps, or mobile apps. Terms of Service (ToS) govern web services, SaaS platforms, and website usage. Some products need both—for example, a SaaS platform might have ToS for the service and a EULA for downloadable components.

Generally yes, though enforceability varies by jurisdiction. In the US, EULAs can prohibit reverse engineering in most cases. However, the EU allows reverse engineering for interoperability purposes regardless of EULA terms. Courts tend to uphold these clauses for commercial software.

Perpetual licenses grant permanent usage rights (one-time purchase). Subscription licenses require ongoing payments for continued access. Freemium offers basic features free with paid upgrades. For open source software, your EULA should reference which open source license applies (MIT, GPL, Apache, etc.).

Include technical enforcement mechanisms (license keys, activation, DRM) in your software. For violations, you can send cease-and-desist letters, pursue damages for unauthorized commercial use, or seek injunctions. Most EULAs include arbitration clauses to avoid costly litigation.

Absolutely. Most software EULAs disclaim all warranties and provide the software 'AS IS.' This protects you from liability if the software has bugs or doesn't meet user expectations. Some jurisdictions have mandatory consumer protections that override disclaimers, so consult local laws.

Your EULA should specify termination procedures. Typically, you can immediately terminate the license for violations, requiring users to uninstall the software. You may also pursue legal remedies for damages, especially for commercial piracy or reverse engineering violations.

Not necessarily, but platform-specific terms help. Mobile apps should address app store rules. Desktop software might need different terms than web apps. SaaS products should cover subscription management and data hosting. You can use one EULA with sections for different platforms.

Yes, but you must notify users of material changes. For desktop/mobile apps, you can require users to accept the updated EULA before using new versions. For SaaS, you can update terms with advance notice (typically 30 days). Users who don't agree should have the option to stop using the software and potentially receive refunds for subscriptions.
