ABSTRACT
Click-wrap, shrink-wrap, and web-wrap agreements are the fine print you see, among other things, when you click through terms and conditions in accessing an online service (e.g., in connection with a cloud computing service) or as part of the installation process for a piece of software. They may also be encountered as part of the documentation provided with new software or a hardware component. They may even be found, with some searching, in a file entitled “license.txt” or similar name on the installation CD on which a new piece of software is delivered. Companies seldom read these terms in any detail, generally view them as non-negotiable, and accept them as a necessary evil.
