Then why bother with EULAs at all? Sell the software as-is, and let the buyer do whatever they want with it (short of redistributing it of course). Yet companies insist on EULAs that are practically worthless.
Then, once again, you can't complain if the software does something you didn't expect, or if they put a kill switch in it.

EULAs aren't considered legally binding in the EU anyways.
I looked that up. Seems a lot depends on the language used. Unfortunately you'll probably have to pay someone some legal fees to find out.
Got nothing to do with the wording. A contract is only considered legally binding if it is signed by the person, and simply ticking off a checkbox is not considered a signature.
That's just it, though. EULAs aren't contracts, they're agreements between the parties involved....
Isn't a formal agreement between parties a contract?

The Wisdom of bagginsbill:
"Oh - the manual says that? I have never read the manual - this must be why."Where it gets tricky - at least here in the UK - is, any contract, agreement or whatever cannot remove a person's rights in law.
Oddly enough, nobody has tried this to break NDAs, as far as I know.
