Clickwrap Agreement

Also known as a clickthrough agreement and clickwrap license. A form of agreement used for software licensing, websites, and other electronic media. It requires the user to agree to terms and conditions before using a website or completing an installation or online purchase process. These agreements typically present the terms and conditions followed by a check box with the words "I agree" or "I accept" that the user must click.
Some examples of transactions that would require the user's assent to a clickwrap agreement are:
  • Downloading or installing software.
  • Purchasing an airline ticket or online music.
  • Registering an account on a social media website.
  • Using a website.
Clickwrap agreements must still meet the criteria for enforceability for unilateral form contracts and not all of their terms may be enforceable.
