Licence agreement.

[Danial]

Hi,
If you do not have any written contract with your client, and your client is using one of your software which contains a License agreement which they have to Click "I have read and agreed the Terms & Conditions".

Now my quesion is, is that agreement/license legally binding. Is there any specific UK Laws covering that sort of issues?

Thanks.

Technically it is, it is the legal contract between the user and the developer, the rights that the user has are illustrated in the EULA. If they simply choose to install and not read it, they are in the wrong and have to abide by whateva it says.

Thaanks for the response, but what do you mean "Technically"? In the absense of any other written contract, will the client have to abide by the EULA if they choose to install a software by indicating they agreed?

Thanks

I'd say so, I'm not a lawyer or anything but i'd say that the EULA is the contract, if you read the Microsoft EULA, it give you a pretty good ideas what it's about.
