    A software license is different - when installing you click on a button saying “I agree”.

    Not different, because nobody knows who has installed the software.

    Or even more: when I got my car, the kids were the first ones to play with the entertainment system, and they clicked many “I agree” buttons. But a kid’s agreement is legally void.

        If you can - always have your children agree to all contracts.

        They are legally protected from all contracts except Student Loans Debt. Thanks Biden.

        The licenses should be void because you had no opportunity to read and understand before purchasing, and they are wording them as a contract when they are unilaterally imposed

      Good point.

      As someone who’s deployed thousands of apps using MOM/SMS/SCOM, am I responsible for those agreements? Lol
