Legal Definitions - bundling

Definition: Bundling is a practice in the computer industry where a single price is charged for a combination of hardware, software, or services. For example, when you buy a personal computer, it usually comes with bundled software, such as an operating system and applications software that are already installed on the hardware.

Examples:

• When you buy a new smartphone, it often comes with bundled accessories like a charger, earphones, and a protective case.
• Some internet service providers offer bundled packages that include internet, cable TV, and phone services for a single price.

The examples illustrate how bundling works by offering customers a package deal that includes multiple products or services for a single price. This can be convenient for customers who want to save money and time by purchasing everything they need in one package.
