EULA Check Service
The fine print matters! In today’s fast-paced digital world, End User License Agreements (EULAs) are often overlooked. However, neglecting to review the terms of use during your procurement process can expose your organisation to legal, financial and technical risks. Understanding what you are agreeing to is crucial for protecting your organisation, ensuring compliance, and avoiding costly pitfalls.
Our EULA Check Service offers a tailored approach to help you mitigate risks before you even complete the transaction.
The importance of EULAs
Most users simply click on ‘accept’ when dealing with End User License Agreements, without fully understanding the legal implications to their entire organisation. SoftwareOne has conducted more than 18,000 EULA checks for customers, and we have gained the following insights:
Only a third of the EULAs include a right of use by third parties.
More than 50% of the EULAs contain audit clauses.
The place of jurisdiction is defined in only 70% of the EULAs.
Unlocking opportunity in every agreement
Our EULA Check Service helps you minimise risk and safeguard your business. We provide a comprehensive report with a RAG-rating (Red, Amber, Green) of the EULA terms according to your specific guidelines.
