    What each section does

    1. Agreement to Terms
    Says that installing or using the app means accepting the license. Show the EULA before installation or on first launch and ask users to accept it.
    2. License Grant
    The core of a EULA: users get a license to use the software, they do not buy it. Say how many devices and whether commercial use is allowed.
    3. Restrictions
    No reverse engineering, copying or reselling. EU law allows limited reverse engineering for interoperability, and a EULA cannot override that.
    4. Intellectual Property
    Says you keep ownership of the software, its code and your trademarks.
    5. Updates and Maintenance
    Whether updates are included and whether they install automatically.
    6. Subscription and Payment
    For paid apps and subscriptions. App Store and Google Play purchases follow the store's billing and refund rules, so point to them.
    7. Disclaimer of Warranties
    Provides the software as is. Consumer laws in the UK, EU and Australia limit what you can exclude.
    8. Limitation of Liability
    Caps what you owe if the software causes a loss. Some liability, such as for death or injury caused by negligence, cannot be excluded for consumers.
    9. Termination
    When the license ends and what users must do then, such as deleting the software.
    10. Governing Law
    Which country's or state's law applies and where disputes are heard.
    11. Open Source Components
    List open source libraries and their licenses. Many licenses, such as MIT and Apache 2.0, require you to include their notice.
    12. Data Collection by Application
    What the app collects. Keep it consistent with your privacy policy and your app store privacy labels.
    13. Contact Information
    Give a working email for license questions.

    Template or generator?

    This template is enough when

    • You sell or distribute one desktop or mobile app
    • Your license is simple: personal use, a set number of devices
    • You want a draft to review with your own lawyer

    Use the eula generator when

    • You sell subscriptions, in-app purchases or business licenses
    • Your app collects personal data and you need the EULA and privacy policy to match
    • You distribute through several stores with different rules
    • You want the EULA hosted and updated for you

    Where to put your EULA

    • Before installation or on first launch, with an Accept button.
    • In your app's settings or About screen, and on your website.
    • In App Store Connect. Apple applies its standard EULA unless you provide your own.
    • On Google Play, inside the app or linked from your store listing.

    EULA template FAQ

    Is this EULA template really free?

    Yes. Copy it or download the PDF or Word file and use it for your own website or app. You do not need an account or an email address.

    What is the difference between a EULA and terms and conditions?

    A EULA licenses software that someone installs or runs. Terms and conditions set the rules for using a website or online service. Apps with accounts often have both.

    Do I need a EULA for my mobile app?

    Not always. On the App Store, Apple's standard EULA applies if you don't provide your own. You need your own when you want different terms, such as subscription rules, usage limits or stronger restrictions.

    Is a EULA enforceable?

    Generally yes, when users clearly agree before using the software, for example by clicking Accept. Clauses that conflict with consumer law cannot be enforced against consumers.

    Do I need to list the open source libraries I use?

    Usually. Most open source licenses require you to keep their copyright and license notice when you distribute software that includes them. Section 11 is where those notices go.

    Can I use this EULA for a SaaS product?

    For a pure web service, terms of service fit better because users don't install anything. Use the EULA for desktop, mobile or downloadable clients.

    Want it in your inbox?

    We will email you the Word file. Optional, the downloads above need no email.
