The Validity of Shrink-Wrap Licences

CLIVE GRINGRAS 1

A licence document (generally referred to as a ‘shrink-wrap licence’) is almost invariably included in the packaging of standard software. The validity of such licences is a subject of considerable legal debate. Drawing upon precedent from Scotland and the United States, this article assess the legal validity and enforceability of shrink wrap licences under English law. Consideration is also given to choice of law issues arising in the common situation where the producer, supplier and user of a software product are located in different legal jurisdictions.
