eula

I found several EULA samples in stack overflow but in all of them it displays company information. I am alone and I want to publich a paid application in android's market.

Do I need to "build" a company? What text should I put in EULA?

Do I need EULA for Android app?

Android apps are not required by Google Play to include an End User License Agreement ("EULA"). However, having an EULA in place regardless can be a good thing for a number of reasons, including protecting your intellectual property, and limiting your liability to users of your app.

Do you need a EULA for a mobile app?

An End User License Agreement, commonly referred to as an EULA, is a crucially important part of any mobile app. In brief, an EULA is the contract between the mobile app user and the software developer who provides the app.

What happens if you don't have an EULA?

An EULA allows you to limit your liability As a software developer, limiting your liability is very important. If you don't do so, you're potentially opening yourself and your business up to lawsuits, many of which may be frivolous but still time-consuming and financially burdening.

Is it safe to agree to EULA?

Ignoring EULAs can expose your computer to security risks. Ignoring EULAs can put your privacy at risk. For instance, a EULA might require you to allow the software publisher or a third party to collect information about your internet activity in exchange for use of the software.
