Remote File Browser (EULA)

[Chase Preuninger]

I just finished writing a EULA for a program that basically allows
someone to browse and download files from a remote machine. Just
wondering if you have any suggestions for me?

one comment. It is very readable. You can tell a lawyer did not
write it.

First suggestion is: run a spell-checker on it, e.g. load it into
openoffice with appropriate spellcheckers installed. During skimming
I saw about four misspelled words, and probably missed a couple more.

Second: if you want to state your own conditions legally safe, you have to
hire a lawyer for that job. If your concerns are mostly about excluding any
warranties, you could take a look at the GPL or LGPL.

I don't know- "pier to pier" is spelled perfectly, although I'm not
sure where these piers are located- I'm assuming New York and
London

Please do not send the German police after me for the legal advice I gave.

Nah, our ministry of truth will just install the bundestrojan on your
machine
