You don't get to read the EULA before you buy the software, so if you buy software then don't agree to the EULA you're entitled to a full refund
Accept the dilema there is, you need to 'open' the box to get at the CD where the EULA is stored. After which time a lot of stores would refuse a refund because the box has been opened. Case in point:http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/03/02/10/190242.shtml?tid=123
Interesting reply from that link being:
This is exactly why a EULA is not enforcable, actually. You buy the software at a retailer, and you are the "owner" at that point. You have created a valid contract of sale by giving cash for goods. The standard argument for EULA enforcability is that the EULA is part of the contract of sale, but that is untenable because the software maker (in this case Microsoft) is not a party to that contract and cannot retroactively modify it. Thus to be enforcable, the EULA must stand on its own. But 17 USC 117 gives the "owner" the right to install software on "a" machine. Thus the EULA gives the owner nothing that he didn't have as a result of "first sale", and the EULA fails to be an enforcable contract due to lack of "consideration".
The world seems to be unaware that when you own a copy of software, you DO NOT NEED A LICENCE TO INSTALL IT ON A SINGLE COMPUTER. This is the black letter law. 17 USC 117
Has anyone tried to return software after disagreeing with the EULA?
