Apps made available through the App Store will be granted and not sold. Your license for each application is subject to prior approval of this end-of-year license license agreement (“STANDARD EULA”) or a personalized end-user license agreement between you and the application provider (“Custom EULA”), if one of them is provided. Your license for an Apple application under this standard CLA or custom CLA is granted by Apple, and your license for any third-party application under this standard CLA or custom CLA is granted by the application provider of that third-party application. Each application submitted to this C.A.C.A. is called a “licensed application.” The app provider or Apple (“licensee”) reserves all rights to and from the licensed application that was not expressly granted to you under this standard BUM. End-user licensing agreements are usually lengthy and written in very specific legal language, making it more difficult for the average user to give informed consent. [3] When the company designs the end-user licensing agreement in such a way as to deliberately deter users from reading it and is difficult to understand, many users may not give their informed consent. Recently, publishers have begun encrypting their software packages to prevent the user from installing the software without accepting the license agreement or violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and foreign counterparts. [Citation required] If you are not allowed to enter this CLE or if you do not agree with its terms, do not use Cisco technology.

You can request a refund for the software within 30 days of your first purchase, provided you return the software to the authorized source and disable or uninstall it. This paragraph does not apply if, in the context of a transaction with an authorized source, you have expressly agreed to end-user licensing terms with Cisco. Many companies have parodied this belief that users do not read end-user licensing agreements by adding unusual clauses, knowing that few users will ever read them. As an April joke, Gamestation added a clause stating that users who placed an order on April 1, 2010 agreed to give their souls irrevocably to the company, which was accepted by 7,500 users. Although there is a box to be contributed to exclude the “immortal soul” clause, few users have verified it, and Gamestation has concluded that 88% of its users have not read the agreement. [17] The PC Pitstop program contained a clause in its end-user license agreement that stipulated that anyone who read the clause and contacted the company would receive a financial reward, but it took four months and more than 3,000 software downloads before someone collected them. [18] During the installation of version 4 of the Advanced Reading Tool, the installer measured the time elapsed between the appearance and acceptance of end-user licensing agreements to calculate the average playback speed. While the agreements were accepted fairly quickly, a dialog box “congratulated” users for their ridiculously high reading speed of several hundred words per second.

[19] South Park parodied in the HumancentiPad episode, in which Kyle had not read the terms of use of his latest iTunes update, and therefore accidentally agreed to let Apple employees act on him. [20] Some end-user licensing agreements accompany shrunken software, which is sometimes presented to a user on paper or, in general, electronically during the installation process.
