Video game EULA (basic)

This computer or video game EULA template is relatively simple. It is suitable for traditional games without online features. It should not be used for online games or multiplayer games, whether or not the multiplayer functionality relies upon servers provided by the licensor.

Most games are distributed by via the internet, and the preamble to the EULA provides that users will be asked to agree to the EULA before the game download begins. However, the preamble also includes alternative clauses, to be used where the user's agreement is given on installation (a "click-wrap licence") or on the unwrapping of a physical copy of the game (a "shrink-wrap licence").

The user is licensed, under the default wording, to install and play the game on the user's device and to save and view the game documentation on that device. However, the game must not be used for commercial purposes and a range of specific prohibitions apply (for example, the user must not make the game available for download by others).

If you need a EULA covering online services, multiplayer features, user-generated content, game updates, support services, charges and/or distance selling-related cancellation rights, you should use the standard version of this EULA, and not this basic version.

If you need to cover modding, editing tools, user communications, content creators and/or player feedback, you should use the premium version of this EULA.
