	'''[[End-user license agreement\|End-User License Agreements]]''' are often purposefully obfuscated through legal and technical language to hide terms and permissions that negatively affect the consumer. YouTuber and right-to-repair advocate, {{Wplink\|Louis Rossman}}, coined the term "'''EULA roofie'''" to describe this anti-consumer behavior, equating the hidden language for the purpose of securing an unfavorable agreement to drugging someone (''roofying'') for personal gain. The concept of hidden language within a EULA applies to situations where such terms, if made clear upfront, might cause a customer to second-guess their purchase.
