An '''end-user license agreement''' (EULA) is a legally binding contract between the licensor (often a software or technology provider) and the end user (the consumer or business purchasing the product). It governs the terms under which the user may access, install, or use a product or service. Though historically associated with software, EULAs have expanded to cover a wide range of digital products and connected devices, making them a cornerstone of digital commerce.
