It is a tough question: the vendor alleges that you agreed to the terms by saying you agree by either opening the jewel case or by clicking "I agree" during the installation routine - if you don't agree, you can always choose not to use the product.

The issue of post-purchase acceptance of terms is a big one and has faced a rough test in civil courts over contract law - that's why many companies started putting some form of notification outside the box and have EULA's posted on the website, because of the previous complaints and judgments against them that prior practice was not "fair." (I know my copy of Windows Vista had huge stickers all over saying "by opening this you agree to our terms" so I couldn't reasonably claim ignorance.) Especially AFTER I've already purchased and installed something!īut given the way this country is going I suspect we'll all end being criminals eventually, be it for our thoughts, our deeds or some other new and fashionable crime d'jour.
When did I get to contribute my input? Anyone, judge or otherwise, who thinks clicking okay in such a situation makes it a contact. Since my understanding of a contract is as a "meeting of the minds" and with a EULA I am presented with "AGREE TO THIS IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS PRODUCT" I don't consider that a fair "meeting of the minds". I haven't agreed to anything in regards to OSX or Macs in any EULA, but rather was questioning the entire validity of the concept of a EULA. I don't really have anything agsint them, they just aren't for me. And since I don't think I'm talking about anything illegal I'm quite surprised at some of the draconican interpretations of the forum rules.įor the record, I don't have any version or flavor of OSX, nor a Mac. Wow.never expected to open such a can of worms.
