I am planning to submit an iPhone app for certain special purpose calculations. I want to add a legal disclaimer about the calculations somewhere so that the user can see it atleast once before starting to use the app. Should this go into the EULA that may be submitted as part of app submission process? Or should that be a one time screen shown when the app is started first time? What is the right way? Thanks for responses.

The End-User License Agreement (EULA) for a software product is usually found on a separate piece of paper accompanying the product, inside the front cover of the user manual, or on screen prior to installing the software.
An EULA is a contract between you and the user who purchases your software - your Android app. It gives the user the right to download your app and use that copy of your app after they submit payment (if applicable). The EULA works the same for apps which download onto a device for the benefit of the user.
You can use Apple's standard EULA for your app, and a lot of apps choose to do this. However, if your app is more complicated and advanced or you wish to maintain more control over the EULA terms, you may wish to include a custom EULA instead.
An end-user license agreement (short EULA, /ˈjuːlə/) is a legal contract entered into between a software developer or vendor and the user of the software, often where the software has been purchased by the user from an intermediary such as a retailer.
The EULA would be submitted as part of your delivery to the App Store, so as to be displayed alongside the app’s entry in the Store (so the user can read prior to purchase).
But you’d also be well-advised to display the very same language the first time the app is launched, prompting the user to “Accept”. (Ideally, if it’s more than one page, you can make it so the Accept button is disabled until the user scrolls to the bottom of the text.)
If you want to be even more thorough, you could prompt the user to accept the EULA the first TWO times the app is run, just to be safe.
Hope this helps!
