General guidance to purchasers on EULAs
EULAs (End User License Agreements) are required parts of the contract, but agencies shouldn’t agree to all of the terms in a supplier’s EULA without review and considering the risks. EULA terms should be carefully reviewed to make sure they meet the purchaser’s business needs (and risk tolerance). Things like automatic renewals, failures to warranty service levels, and limitations of liability should be carefully considered before signing a EULA. Purchasers should flag and ask to change any terms they object to (indemnification, venue, choice of law, etc.) with state-favorable or neutral terms.
