This project maps some of the internet’s most encountered End User License Agreements (EULAs), also commonly called Terms of Use.
Over time, these take-it-or-leave-it contracts have often expanded into legal hydras so complex that even legally-trained readers cannot meaningfully understand their terms (and the risks of using the product or service). Companies also claim that they have the right to change these terms at any time and that it’s users’ responsibility to keep reviewing them — no matter how long and complicated they grow. In particular, users often do not understand that companies will argue that any privacy promises made by the privacy policy are limited by the provisions of the EULA.
