The End User License Agreement (EULA) is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions under which a piece of software or application can be used by a customer. It is important for software developers to have a well-written EULA in place to protect their intellectual property rights and ensure that customers are aware of the limitations and restrictions of their usage.

In India, the Information Technology Act of 2000 governs the use of computer software and electronic records. The act recognizes the validity of electronic contracts, including EULAs, as long as they meet the requirements of being in electronic form and being accessible for future reference. EULAs can be used for various software products, including mobile applications, computer software, and online services.

A typical EULA consists of several sections, including the description of the software, the user’s rights and obligations, and the terms and conditions of the agreement. It is important to provide clear and concise language in the EULA to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding by the end-user.

Here is a sample EULA that can be used by software developers in India:

1. License Grant: This software is licensed, not sold, to you by [company name]. Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, [company name] grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use this software.
