The document discusses end-user license agreements (EULAs), which are legal contracts between software developers and users that define the limits of a user's rights to install and use software. EULAs grant users a license to use the software and inform them of restrictions and liabilities. They cover licensing issues, while broader terms and conditions agreements also address additional topics like app usage. The document provides examples of key clauses in a EULA and common places software developers include EULAs, such as within apps themselves or on a website.

the right to use the software.

that address the licensing of the
software.
9. A Terms and Conditions (3) agreement
cover more topics.
This agreement is much broader in
scope and lets users know how they
are allowed to use the app, and what
they should expect from you.
