Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

Before establishing the EULA, you make a number of choices that shape the entire agreement. These questions help you choose the right form.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Is your end user a consumer or a business? Mandatory consumer law applies to consumers; certain exclusions and clauses are then of limited validity or voidable.
Is the software installed locally or offered via the cloud (SaaS)? For SaaS, a subscription or service agreement with an SLA is more appropriate; a classic EULA is best suited for installed software.
Does the license apply on a one-off basis or on an ongoing basis (subscription)? This determines the term, the payment model, and the arrangements for updates, renewal, and cancellation.
Does the software process personal data? If so, agreements under the GDPR are required, and possibly a data processing agreement in addition to the EULA.
Do you use open-source components or third-party software? In that case, you must respect and disclose the license terms of those components to avoid your own liability.
Clauses and provisions

Which components belong in an EULA software license?

A comprehensive EULA governs the right of use, restrictions, and protection of your software. The components below form the core; for each software product, you determine the required emphasis.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Granting of the right of use Always Describes the scope of the license: non-exclusive, non-transferable, for what number of users, devices, or locations.
Permitted and prohibited use Always Defines what the user is allowed to do (install, use) and not allowed to do (copy, reverse engineer, resell, modify).
Intellectual property Always Confirms that the copyright and all intellectual property rights to the software remain with you; the user acquires only a right of use.
Term and termination Always Regulates whether the license is perpetual or for a fixed period and when you may revoke the right of use (e.g. in case of non-payment or violation).
Updates, maintenance and support With continuous software Determines whether and how updates are delivered and whether support is included in the license or purchased separately.
Warranty and liability Always Software is generally delivered 'as is'; you limit the warranty and exclude indirect damages and excessive liability.
Privacy and data processing When processing personal data Refers to your privacy statement and, if the software processes personal data, to the agreements under the GDPR.
Applicable law and disputes Always Designates Dutch law and the competent court, so that a dispute is handled predictably.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

An EULA is only effective if the user demonstrably accepts it before using the software. The steps below ensure that the agreement is legally valid.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
Upon installation or first use Have the user give active consent (click agree) before the software is usable Without demonstrable acceptance, the EULA may not apply and the terms are not enforceable.
Before the purchase Make the text findable and readable in advance The user must be able to reasonably take notice of the terms and conditions; otherwise, the clauses are voidable.
With a new version Require renewed approval for substantial changes Amended terms and conditions apply only after new acceptance by the user.
After acceptance Keep the proof and the date of agreement In the event of a dispute, you must be able to demonstrate which version the user accepted.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

Most problems do not arise from the content of the EULA, but from the way it is offered or from clauses that do not hold up in practice.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Copying another company's EULA The terms and conditions do not suit your software or contain references to foreign law Have a custom EULA drafted that aligns with your product and Dutch law.
Completely exclude liability An overly broad exclusion may be annulled as unreasonably burdensome, especially for consumers Limit liability in a nuanced manner instead of excluding everything.
Do not ask for active consent The EULA has not been demonstrably accepted and is therefore difficult to enforce Use a click agreement and keep the proof of acceptance.
Ignoring the difference between sales and licensing The user believes to own the software and claims broader rights Explicitly emphasize that you are granting a right of use and not transferring ownership.
Leaving privacy and GDPR unaddressed Fines and damage claims if the software processes personal data without a legal basis Refer to your privacy statement and conclude a data processing agreement where necessary.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

The proper structuring of your EULA depends on your situation. If you recognize yourself in one of the cases below, you know where to focus your attention.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Software for consumers You supply an app or program to private individuals Take mandatory consumer law into account; overly broad exclusions are voidable.
Business software (B2B) Your customers are businesses There is more contractual freedom; clearly define the scope of use per user or location.
Software that processes personal data Your program stores customer or user data Arrange the GDPR legal basis and consider a Data Processing Agreement alongside the EULA.
Customization or source code delivery You supply software including modifications or code Clearly define who holds the IP rights and what may be done with the source code.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

An EULA governs the right to use your software, but does not cover every situation. In the following cases, you need an additional or different document.

Situation Supplementary document Why
Situation Related document Explanation
Your software processes personal data on behalf of the customer Data Processing Agreement Under the GDPR, you document the processing of personal data in a separate data processing agreement alongside the EULA.
You share confidential information or source code with a party Confidentiality Agreement A confidentiality agreement is the right instrument for protecting trade secrets and technical information.
You develop software together with another party Cooperation Agreement In a joint development, you define the division of roles, IP rights, and revenues in a cooperation agreement.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a Software License EULA, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what EULA software licenses are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a software EULA?
A EULA — End User License Agreement — is the license agreement between the software developer or supplier and the end user. It establishes the right to use the software that the user acquires, the restrictions applicable to that use, the supplier's liability for errors or failures, the intellectual property rights to the software and any updates, and the conditions for termination of the right to use. The EULA is the primary instrument by which software developers protect their intellectual property: without a valid EULA, the user has no clearly defined right to use, nor are there any contractual restrictions on use. Alongside the software license — which governs the commercial terms — the EULA serves as the document that establishes the legal framework for use. Our lawyers draft an EULA for your software that protects your copyright, precisely defines the right to use, effectively limits liability, and complies with the Software Directive and the GDPR.
What protection does the Software Directive offer and how does it relate to the EULA?
Software is protected by copyright under the Copyright Act, which implements the European Software Directive 2009/24/EC . The Software Directive grants software users a number of statutory rights from which the EULA cannot derogate to the detriment of the user. The most relevant is the right to decompilation for the purpose of interoperability: a user may decompile the software to the extent necessary to achieve interoperability with other programs. Your EULA may not completely exclude this right — a broad decompilation prohibition that also prohibits interoperability-related actions is void. Other statutory user rights concern the right to a backup and the right to load and run the software. Your EULA must be assessed against the Software Directive to prevent clauses from being void. Our lawyers draft an EULA that correctly respects the boundary between contractual restrictions and statutory user rights.
How do you manage usage rights — on-premise, SaaS, and multi-user?
The description of the right of use must align precisely with your software delivery model. For on-premise software , the user installs the software on their own servers or computers; the EULA must specify to how many installations the right applies and whether use on third-party servers is permitted. With SaaS , the customer uses the software via a cloud environment; in that case, the right of use is a right of access, not of installation, and the EULA must specify how many users may have access and for what purpose. For multi-user licenses, the EULA must specify the maximum number of concurrent users or the maximum number of installations. Your EULA must also regulate the consequences of exceeding these limits: what happens if the customer has more users than permitted? Our lawyers formulate the right of use that aligns with your licensing model and your commercial objectives.
How do you protect your source code and know-how in the EULA?
Software source code is a software company's most valuable intellectual property. Your EULA must explicitly state that the source code is not made available to the user, that decompilation is prohibited outside of statutory interoperability exceptions, and that the user may not create derivative works based on the software. Particular attention: if your software relies on open source components, the EULA must mention the open source licenses and inform the user about the rights granted by those licenses — including potential copyleft obligations requiring derivative works to also be published as open source. An EULA that ignores open source components creates legal risks. Our lawyers assess the open source components in your software and draft an EULA that correctly addresses all licensing levels.
How do you arrange updates, support, and termination of the license?
The update and support terms in the EULA determine what the user may expect from the software vendor after purchase or activation. Is the user entitled to free updates for the entire duration of the license, or only to patch versions? When does support for a version of the software end? The termination terms determine when the right of use ends: automatically upon expiration of the license period, following a breach of the EULA by the user, or following termination by the vendor. Upon termination, the EULA must set out the user's obligations: removing the software from all systems, destroying copies, and providing proof of removal. Our lawyers draft an update, support, and termination agreement that protects your commercial model.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers map out your software, your delivery model, your target user group, and your open source components. Based on this, we draft an EULA that protects your copyright, precisely defines the right of use, complies with the Software Directive, correctly addresses open source licenses, and effectively limits liability. We also ensure alignment with your general terms and conditions and your privacy statement.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document
SME Lawyers
Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
