EULA templates?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/EULA templates?

I have to write an EULA saying that a program license is for one machine. Are there any templates out there for this?

Keys are:

Thanks dude.

I've been looking for a EULA too, so thanks BlackD. ;)

Can I ask where you got it? Does this version of a EULA actually belong to some one/company? Am I legally allowed to use it? Naive questions but I don't know much about this kind of stuff.

I also want one suitable for freeware that offers no warrantee. I guess I could hack that one about a bit but I don't want to leave out any information that may be important, from a legal point of view.

"This is freeware. No warranty either implicit or implied is included. Use at your own risk."

That's all you need. :)

Luckily EULA's dont matter in Finland

lol. Thanks Kanati.

That's handy thanks!

this is handy, I'm searching for a Japanese one EULA that written properly.. not found yet.

Luckily EULA's dont matter in Finland.

This probably explains the booming Finnish tech industry.

"implicit or implied" - what's the difference ?

When writing EULAs, I usually copy them from a game then substitute with all my titles, names, etc. Same goes for privacy policies and terms and conditions for websites.
