clickwrap agreements
A clickwrap agreement is a type of contract that users accept by clicking a button, usually labeled "I agree" or "Accept," on a website or app. This method is commonly used for software licenses, online services, and terms of service. By clicking, users indicate their consent to the terms outlined, which are often presented in a pop-up or linked document.
These agreements are legally binding, meaning that users are expected to adhere to the terms once they click to accept. Courts generally uphold clickwrap agreements as long as the terms are clear and accessible, making them a popular choice for companies like Google and Apple to manage user consent.
