EULA Anonymous Mon May 23 09:56:19 2016 No.1263451 [Reply] [Original]

> Wrote some program in my free time. Turns out it's quite popular and 100 people already signed up for the beta release. Decide to sell it over my company. Need an EULA. Prices are eating up a large portion of my profit margin. Generic EULA doesn't seem safe enough. What do?

Going for an EULA generator? Keep the profit margin high but risk a fuckup.
Or going for the lawyer with a custom designed EULA? Kill profit margin but be safe instead of sorry.

Any suggestions?

Your code isn't special. My business is literally finding apps like yours and hiring 10 chinese teenagers to rip it off and beat it in a span of 24 hours. Then just punt your skinny ass out of the market because I have more money than you do for marketing.

read a fucking book.

Exactly that's why the code is closed source. Wrote it in a days work an can squeeze up to 5k out of it by selling it to idiots who have no idea.

Never intended to make it my main occupation. I'm just sacking in the free gold coins and enjoying the financial boost, salty-san.

>>1263786
Aye, I already prepared a selfmade EULA with all default clauses in case i can't agree on a decent price with any of the lawyers I contacted.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 23 13:18:01 2016 No.1263804 >>1263792 second of all EULAs are worthless as nobody gives a fuck about them unless you are a gazillion dollar enterprise that can actually enforce them. so don't fucking spend more than 5 minutes on that shit. not worth it.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 23 13:21:50 2016 No.1263811 >>1263792 >current year >thinking DRM or EULA will protect his shitty code If you put it on the internet you're giving it out for free.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 23 13:29:36 2016 No.1263832 >>1263822 in that case all you need to put in the eula is everyone uses at his own risk and you are not in any way liable for anything.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 23 15:43:36 2016 No.1264085 As a legalbro I think you should use a default one. And just make adjustments where you want.
