Shrink-wrap and Click-wrap Licenses : Why Should Informational Professionals Care?

September 28, 2005

   
 

This seminar was a collaborative effort between SLA and AALL.

Individuals and organizations affiliated with AFFECT also received special rates for the live site registration.

 

What is a shrink-wrap and click-wrap license agreement, and why should information professionals care about them? Click-on license agreements are included in most off-the-shelf and downloadable digital products that are used by individuals or a company. When you read the small print of the "agreement," you may discover that your rights that you assume apply to traditional goods and services may not apply when you when you purchase digital products. These often unfair terms that are embedded in a product can jeopardize your computer security risk, and put your privacy in jeopardy.

This seminar will only address non-negotiated license agreements, and will provide an introductory framework to understand the legal concepts basic to licensing; a walk-through review of a shrink-wrap license, and the implications of key standard form terms that affect libraries.
