End User License Agreement (EULA)

Why you need an End User License Agreement (EULA)

End User License Agreements (EULA) are essential if you have a proprietary piece of intellectual property (IP) like software that you need to protect. It grants the user permission to do something that might otherwise be considered an infringement of copyright law. The perfect EULA gives the software developer peace of mind that their product is safe.

What is an End User License Agreement (EULA)?

A EULA gives the buyer of your software the licence to use it, while also ensuring it is not misused, resold, or copied. It also gives you (as the owners of the IP) the ability to exclude or limit your liability and the right to sue the user if they don’t comply with the terms of the agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a EULA and a SaaS agreement?

A: A EULA is most commonly used when the end user is going to download or copy a piece or software. Even though the software is in the hands of the end user, the EULA ensures the developer/publisher retain intellectual property rights.
