Legal Definitions - click-wrap agreement

A click-wrap agreement is a type of electronic contract that a computer user agrees to by clicking on a button or link on a website. This agreement is also known as a point-and-click agreement or a web-wrap agreement.

For example, when you download software or sign up for an online service, you may be presented with a click-wrap agreement. You must click on a button that says "I agree" or "Accept" to proceed with the download or sign-up process.

Once you click on the button, you are legally bound by the terms of the agreement. These terms may include things like payment obligations, restrictions on how you can use the software or service, and limitations on liability.

Click-wrap agreements are commonly used in e-commerce and online transactions. They are a way for companies to protect their intellectual property and limit their liability.
