Create a professional End-User License Agreement for your app or software. Protect your intellectual property from reverse engineering and abuse.

EULA vs. Terms of Service

While both are legal agreements, they serve different purposes:

  • EULA (End-User License Agreement): Focuses on the right to use software. It grants a license and strictly prohibits copying, modifying, or reverse-engineering the source code. Best for downloadable software and mobile apps.
  • Terms of Service: Focuses on the rules for using a service. It covers user accounts, acceptable behavior, and service availability. Best for SaaS platforms and websites.

Frequently Asked Questions

A EULA is a legal contract between a software developer or vendor and the end user. Unlike a Terms of Service (which governs using a service), a EULA grants a license to use software — meaning the user doesn't own the software, they're borrowing it under specific conditions. This is critical for protecting your intellectual property.
If you distribute software, a mobile app, a desktop application, or a browser extension, a EULA is essential. Without one, users may claim they "own" the software after downloading it. A EULA explicitly states that you retain ownership and the user is granted a revocable, non-transferable license — protecting you from reverse engineering, redistribution, and piracy.
A EULA focuses on the right to use software — granting a license, prohibiting reverse engineering, and restricting redistribution. Best for downloadable apps and desktop software. A Terms of Service focuses on rules for using a service — covering user accounts, acceptable behavior, and uptime. Best for SaaS platforms and websites.

A comprehensive EULA should cover: license grant (what the user is allowed to do), restrictions (no copying, reverse engineering, or redistribution), intellectual property rights, limitation of liability, warranty disclaimer, termination conditions, governing law, and update/modification rights (your right to push updates that change functionality).
A EULA provides legal protection against piracy, not technical protection. It establishes that unauthorized copying, distribution, or modification of your software is a breach of contract and potentially copyright infringement — giving you grounds to pursue legal action. For technical protection, you'd combine a EULA with license keys or DRM.
Yes, when properly implemented. Clickwrap EULAs (where users must click "I Agree" before installing or using the software) are highly enforceable in court. Shrinkwrap EULAs (printed inside physical packaging) and browsewrap (hidden on a website) are more difficult to enforce. Always use clickwrap for maximum protection.
Both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store provide default EULAs, but they offer minimal protection for developers. It's strongly recommended to create a custom EULA that specifically addresses your app's unique features, data handling, in-app purchases, subscription terms, and content restrictions.

What the generator asks you

Besides your company name and address, website name and URL, contact email and country, the form asks which licence type you grant (single-user, multi-user or SaaS) and whether the software is subscription-based. The licence type changes the wording of the grant clause, and the subscription answer swaps a term clause for a subscription-and-payment clause.

What the finished document covers

  • Grant of License (wording depends on licence type)
  • Restrictions
  • Intellectual Property
  • Subscription and Payment, or Term
  • Disclaimer of Warranties
  • Limitation of Liability
  • Updates and Modifications
  • Termination
  • Governing Law
  • Contact Information

What it does not do

The governing-law clause names the country you typed but the rest of the text is identical for every jurisdiction, and there is no severability, export-control, open-source-components or data-processing clause. Pricing, trial periods and refund terms are not asked for, so the subscription clause stays generic. It is a template, not legal advice, and an app distributed through Apple or Google stores must also meet those stores' own EULA requirements.
