clickwrap license

Definitions

A license which is implicitly agreed to when the user clicks on a particular user interface element, such as a button or link.

Examples

“The second example, the so-called “clickwrap” license⟳, is more likely to create⟳ an enforceable contract. In this variation, the user is required to view⟳, however fleetingly, the terms of the license⟳ and to take⟳ some affirmative action to agree⟳ to its terms, such as by clicking a button that says “Yes, I have⟳ read⟳ this license⟳ and I agree⟳ to its terms,” before accessing the licensed software.”

“Like⟳ the more familiar “clickwrap” license⟳, which we encounter every time we download⟳ a software update⟳ or buy⟳ an item on the Internet, this license⟳ employs the law of contract to limit⟳ the use⟳ of an invention by others.”
