While installing Microsoft, or for that matter any, software, most of the users do not read the EULA or End User License Terms. But where would you as an End User go if you ever needed to read the End User License Terms for your Windows, Office or any other Microsoft software?
Who is an End-User?
An end-user who acquires software is acquiring the right to use that software. End users don’t “own” the software, which is intellectual property and is generally “owned” by its developers. The right to use the software is governed by the End User Software License Terms—which, in the case of the OEM System Builder product, is an agreement between the system builder and the end-user.
What is End User License Terms?
The End User Software License Terms can typically be found within the software product, and an end-user must accept the End User Software License Terms before running the software. The End User Software License Terms define what end-user rights and restrictions apply to the use of the software, and covers topics such as how the software can be used, whether the license can be transferred, etc. Get more information about the End User Software License Terms.
