About this template
What is this template?
This document is a software terms of use agreement specifically for the compiled executable version of an application. It is not an open-source source code license, and it explicitly limits the Corporation's financial liability to a $500 cap.
When should you use it?
Use this when distributing ready-to-run software binaries to end users while maintaining separate licenses for the underlying source code. Use a Software License Agreement instead if the software is proprietary and not part of an open-source project.
