Lõppkasutusnõuded

Lõppkasutusnõuded, also known as end-user license agreements (EULAs) or final user license agreements, are legal contracts between a software developer or publisher and an end-user. These agreements govern the terms under which the software can be used. When a user installs or uses a piece of software, they are typically required to accept the Lõppkasutusnõuded to proceed.

These requirements outline the rights and restrictions granted to the user regarding the software. Common provisions include the permitted number of installations, restrictions on modifying or reverse-engineering the software, and limitations on its commercial use. The Lõppkasutusnõuded also often disclaim warranties and limit the developer's liability in case of software defects or damages.

The enforceability of Lõppkasutusnõuded can vary by jurisdiction, and some aspects may be subject to consumer protection laws. While users are often presented with these agreements in a take-it-or-leave-it format, understanding their contents is important as they define the legal framework for software usage. They serve to protect the intellectual property of the software creator and set clear expectations for the user.
