There's no need for proving that,
Right, so in the analogous web-based situation, someone running a web
site ought not to have the initial burden of proving that the user read
the EULA.
and this has nothing to do with the
discussion at hand, still less HTML.
How does an analogy relating to whether a person read or didn't read a
contract not have anything to do with a discussion on whether a person
did or didn't read a contract?
then someone else can quite innocently follow a link and arrive at a
page without seeing any reference to any contract, as I wrote.
And the company's web logs will show the the EULA was never requested by
the user. (It seems to me a hack is easily prevented, by inserting a
random string into a hidden INPUT tag [ObHTML] and expecting to receive
that same string from the same IP to which it was sent and/or from
within the same user session.)
Anyway, as with any contract, the answer to the question of whether a
EULA would be binding if a person did agree to it doesn't rely on the
fact that it certainly wouldn't be binding if it had never been
presented to the person.
