World’s Shortest End User License Agreement

I purchased a PDA library from Borm Bruckmeier Publishing this week for my Dad. During the download process I was surprised to see the following screen:

Borm EULA

They prompted me to “read the End User License Agreement (EULA) before proceeding.” The box where a lengthy EULA should be located contained this simple sentence:

Borm Bruckmeier Verlag EULA goes here…

This was obviously inserted by the programmer (not the legal department) and clearly slipped through the testing process. They did test their checkout and download process, right?

Lesson learned: Always test your web application for more than just functionality. Read and proofread your copy!
