What is an End-User License Agreement (EULA)?

EULA meaning: An End-User License Agreement is a legally binding agreement between the owner of an application or software, and the end-user. More specifically, It is a contract between the licensor of a product and the licensee (also called Software License Agreement (SLA), or Licensed Application End-User Agreement).

Going into more details, a EULA specifies the rights and restrictions that apply to the software, and it’s typically presented to users during the installation/set-up stage. Like other legal agreements, it is only valid if it’s actually agreed to.

The End User License Agreement (EULA) typically involves two parties:

  • The Software Provider/Author or Licensor: This is the party that owns the rights to the product and grants the license for use of the software. In many cases, it is a company that acts as the software publisher, but it could also be the individual or author who developed the software.
  • The End-User/Buyer or Licensee: This is the individual or organization that is receiving the license to use the software and agrees to comply with the terms and conditions outlined in the EULA. The end-user could be a person who is installing the software on their personal computer, or it could be a business or other organization that is installing the software for use by its employees or members.

Yes, it does. In fact, as mentioned before, End User License Agreement (EULA) is a legally enforceable contract that protects your intellectual property and copyright while governing the relationship between you and the end user.

For a EULA to be binding, parties must give their mutual consent to its terms, which is typically obtained through the user’s acceptance of the agreement. It is crucial to ensure that the language used in the EULA is coherent and understandable, making it clear to the user that they are entering into a contractual agreement with you.

The primary legal protections provided by a EULA include, amongst others:

  • ownership rights (intellectual property, etc.);
  • user’s rights granted under the software license;
  • restrictions on the use of the license;
  • disclaimer warranties;
  • limitation of liabilities.

An example of a legal protection is what an EULA offers against potential lawsuits from end users who claim that your software caused harm or damage. Through carefully crafted clauses, the EULA can establish clear limitations on your liabilities, potentially minimizing legal risks.

When is an EULA needed?

End User License Agreements are important for protecting the rights of the business owner/licensor and critical for setting the rules of use and managing the expectations of the end-user.

Generally, the EULA will help you to set the conditions of your license agreement with the user – explain what they are and aren’t allowed to do with the software, the conditions under which their access might be limited or terminated, copyright provisions etc.

Some additional instances where you might need a End User License Agreement are where you:

  • need to make legally required disclosures related to consumer rights (especially withdrawal and cancellation rights);
  • have different user levels (eg. registered vs non-registered);
  • your platform allows users to sell or trade with other users;
  • facilitate or otherwise process payments and/or other sensitive user data; want to set the rules for user behavior and state grounds for termination of accounts;
  • participate in affiliate programs;
  • provide a software or service which can potentially cause harm if misused;
  • would like to have some legally enforceable control over, and set rules about, how your website/app/product may be used.

Is an EULA the same as “Terms of Use” or “Terms of Service” (ToS)?

Yes, somewhat. Terms of Use (also called Terms and Conditions and Terms of Service) generally govern the relationship between a business, its services and its users/consumers – this broad scope can include everything from copyright and licensing to consumer rights, to return policies and setting governing law.

An End User License Agreement operates in a similar way, but focuses mostly on the licensing relationship. The titles “Terms and Conditions“, “Terms of Use” and “EULA” mean the same thing in relation to software and apps and are often used interchangeably.

What is the difference between SLA and EULA?

The main difference between a EULA and a SLA (software license agreement) lies in their intended use. A EULA is typically designed for situations where numerous users use the software on an ongoing basis. In contrast, a software license agreement is more commonly employed in business-to-business scenarios, and often for finite engagements.

So for example, an SLA might be used in a situation where the software is downloaded and operated directly on the user’s computer, while a EULA might be used for Software as a Service or an app. Obviously there are other nuances between an SLA and EULA but this is the key distinction.

What is the difference between end-user license agreement and license agreement?

In many cases, the terms “End User License Agreement” (EULA) and “License Agreement” are used interchangeably, and both typically refer to the contract between the licensor (the party who owns the rights to the product) and the licensee (the party who is receiving the rights to use the product under specific terms and conditions)

However, it is worth mentioning that EULAs are typically specific to software and digital goods. They are presented to the end user (the person or entity using the software) during the installation process.

License Agreements, on the other hand, may cover a broader range of products, services, or intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights. A License Agreement might be used when the licensee is another business or entity rather than the end consumer.

What should be included in an EULA?

Although these documents vary, common clauses for End User License Agreements are:

  • definitions;
  • a grant of license;
  • limitations on use;
  • a copyright notice;
  • a limited warranty.

How do you write EULA?

When writing a basic End User License Agreement, be sure to at least:

  • clearly identify yourself/your business;
  • clear state the rules for user behaviour and access to your product/software;
  • disclose the copyright/intellectual property license that applies (e.g. open source);
  • include other details of the software license including conditions for termination;
  • include any disclaimers and limitation of liability statements.

You can see how this all comes together in the EULA example text below.

Can I use a EULA Generator?

Yes, absolutely! You can use a EULA Generator to create End User License Agreements.

However, it’s important to vet the quality of the generator you use. Remember that EULA’s being a type of Terms and Conditions, they are essentially legal documents. This means that the generator you choose must contain clauses written by actual legal professionals and that it allows you to fully customize your document to match your specific circumstances.

Here is a list of things to look for when choosing a quality EULA generator:

✅ Has clauses written by actual legal professionals

✅ Provides clear and easy-to-understand instructions

✅ Allows you to customize the EULA to meet your specific needs

✅ Provides legal language that is appropriate for your jurisdiction

✅ Offers ongoing support and updates

Is it ok to use a EULA Template?

Using a basic template is not wrong by default, but it can come with significant risk to you and your business. Should conflict arise or if a lawsuit is filed by a user, your EULA document will be your first line of defence. EULAs are complex legal documents that cover multiple legal scenarios (eg. commercial law, copyright laws, liabilities etc.), jurisdictions, and must apply to your specific business practices. This is difficult to achieve with a basic template.

Too many things to think about? Using just a EULA template is too complicated and a bit risky? We recommend using a professional solution: jump to this section to learn more.

 <h2>LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION</h2>
 <p>We limit our liability as much as legally allowed when executing agreements with you. This means our responsibility for damages is reduced to the maximum extent permitted by law unless explicitly stated otherwise or agreed upon with you.</p>
 <h4>Indemnification</h4>
 <p>You agree to indemnify us and our affiliates, officers, directors, and employees from any claims or demands made by third parties due to or in connection with any culpable violation of these terms or third-party rights related to your use of the service to the extent allowed by law.</p>
 <h4>Limitation of liability</h4>
 <p>Unless explicitly stated otherwise and subject to applicable law, you cannot claim damages against us (or any individual or entity acting on our behalf).</p>
 <p>However, this exclusion does not apply to damages affecting life, health, or physical integrity, damages arising from the breach of significant contractual obligations (such as those necessary to fulfill the contract's purpose), and/or damages resulting from intentional or gross negligence, provided that our application has been used appropriately and correctly by you.</p>
 <p>Unless damages stem from intentional or gross negligence, or they impact life, health, or physical integrity, our liability is limited to typical and foreseeable damages at the time the contract was entered into.</p>
 <h3>US users</h3>
 <h4>Disclaimer of warranties</h4>
 <p>Our application is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. When you use our application, you are doing so at your own risk. We explicitly state that we are not making any promises or guarantees, whether they are express, implied, or even required by law. These include assurances about the quality of the service, its suitability for your specific needs, or whether it infringes on anyone else's rights. Please keep in mind that any advice or information you receive from us or through our service does not create any warranties beyond what we have explicitly stated here.</p>
 <p>Additionally, while we strive to provide accurate and reliable content, we cannot guarantee that it is always going to be the case. We do not guarantee that the service will always meet your requirements or be available when you need it. There might be interruptions, or it might not function correctly due to factors beyond our control. While we do our best to keep everything running smoothly, we cannot ensure that the service will be free of harmful elements like viruses. If you choose to download any content from our service, you are assuming the risk, and we are not responsible for any damage it might cause to your devices or data.</p>
 <p>We do not endorse or guarantee any products or services advertised through our service or any links we provide. We are not involved in any transactions between you and third-party providers, so any interactions or agreements you make with them are solely your responsibility.</p>
 <p>Our service might not always be accessible or may not work correctly with your web browser, mobile device, or operating system. While we strive to provide a seamless experience, we cannot guarantee it in every situation. As such, we want to clarify that we cannot be held responsible for any perceived or actual damages that result from issues related to the content, operation, or use of our service.</p>
 <p>While we may have certain exclusions and limitations in our agreement, these may not apply to you depending on the laws of your jurisdiction. Federal law, as well as laws in some states and other jurisdictions, may offer protections that supersede our disclaimers and exclusions. This means that you may have specific legal rights that are not affected by our agreement. It is essential to understand your rights, as they may vary from state to state or country to country. We want to emphasize that any disclaimers or exclusions in our agreement will only be enforced to the extent permitted by applicable law.</p>
 <h4>Limitation of liability</h4>
 <p>To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we, along with our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, partners, suppliers, or employees, be liable for:</p>

 </ul>
 <p>This limitation of liability section will apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if you have been advised of the possibility of such damage.</p>
 <p>Please note that in some jurisdictions, the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages may not be allowed. This means that these limitations or exclusions might not apply to you. You have specific legal rights, which may vary depending on your jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability outlined here may not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.</p>

 <p>To maintain the best service level, we reserve the right to interrupt the service for maintenance, updates, or other changes, with appropriate notification.</p>
 <p>We may suspend or discontinue the service within legal limits. If discontinued, we will assist you in withdrawing personal data and respect your rights regarding continued product use and compensation under applicable law.</p>
 <p>The service may be unavailable due to events beyond our reasonable control, such as infrastructure breakdowns or blackouts.</p>

These are also protected by applicable laws and international treaties related to intellectual property.</p>
 <h3>Changes to the terms</h3>
 <p>We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, informing you of any changes.</p>
 <p>Such changes will only affect the relationship with you from the date communicated onwards.</p>
 <p>Your continued use of the service will signify your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not wish to be bound by the changes, you must stop using the service and terminate the agreement.</p>
 <p>The applicable previous version will govern the relationship prior to your acceptance. You can obtain any previous version from us.</p>
 <p>If legally required, we will notify you in advance of when the modified terms will take effect.</p>

 <h3>Contact</h3>
 <p>All communications regarding the use of our application must be sent using the contact information provided in this document.</p>
 <h3>Severability</h3>
 <p>Invalidity or unenforceability of any provision under applicable law will not affect the validity of other provisions, which will remain in full force and effect.</p>
 <h4>US users</h4>
 <p>Any invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted to the extent reasonably required to render it valid, enforceable, and consistent with its original intent. This document constitutes the entire agreement between you and us and supersede all other communications, including but not limited to prior agreements concerning such subject matter, to the fullest extent permitted by law.</p>
 <h4>EU users</h4>
 <p>If any provision of this document is void, invalid, or unenforceable, we both agree to do our best to find, in an amicable way, an agreement on valid and enforceable provisions. In case of failure to do so, the void, invalid, or unenforceable provisions will be replaced by the applicable statutory provisions.</p>
 <p>Regardless of the above, the nullity, invalidity, or impossibility of enforcing a particular provision of this document will not nullify the entire agreement, unless the severed provisions are essential for it, or of such importance that we both would not have entered into the contract if we had known that the provision would not be valid, or in cases where the remaining provisions would translate into an unacceptable hardship for you or us.</p>
 <h3>Governing law</h3>
 <p>These terms are governed by the law of the place where we are based, as outlined in the relevant section of this document, without regard to conflict of laws principles.</p>
 <h4>Prevalence of national law</h4>
 <p>However, regardless of the above, if the law of the country that you are based on provides for higher applicable consumer protection standards, such higher standards will prevail.</p>
 <h3>Venue of jurisdiction</h3>
 <p>The jurisdiction over any controversy related to these terms lies with the courts of the place where we are based, as outlined in the relevant section of this document.</p>
 <h4>Exception for consumers in Europe</h4>
 <p>However, regardless of the above, this does not apply if you qualify as a European consumer or if you are a consumer based in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway, or Iceland.</p>
 <h4>UK consumers</h4>
 <p>If you are a consumer based in England and Wales, you may bring legal proceedings related to these terms in the English and Welsh courts. If you are a consumer based in Scotland, you may bring legal proceedings in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you are a consumer based in Northern Ireland, you may bring legal proceedings in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.</p>
 <h4>US users</h4>
 <p>We both agree to waive any right to trial by jury in any court in connection with any action or litigation. Any claims under these terms shall proceed individually and we both agree not to join in a class action or other proceeding with or on behalf of others.</p>
 <h3>US users</h3>

EULA Template (Word DOCX)

Where to display an End User License Agreement

There are a few rules to follow for displaying the document:

  1. Ensure that users agree to your End User License Agreement (EULA) before purchasing and using your software or app. This means there are two primary points where you can display the EULA: before or after the software is downloaded or installed. Either option is acceptable, but it’s crucial to make the EULA easily accessible and noticeable at both stages, in case users need to review it later.
  2. It is important to note that your EULA should never be optional. If it is, a user could argue that they did not agree to the terms, rendering the contract unenforceable. Be clear, precise and conspicuous when asking for consent.
  3. When it comes to placing your EULA on your website, consider strategic locations such as the account login page, checkout screen, or a dedicated legal page. For your desktop or mobile apps, you can include the EULA within menus for easy access.
💡 By placing your EULA in strategic locations, users can access, read, and accept the terms at any time, providing them with a clear understanding of how to use your product in a legitimate manner.
