Licences and software products
In the computer software sector, the authorised licensor grants a licence to a purchaser of the software products, under the terms of the licence. The grant of such a licence is often held, or deemed, to enter into effect with the initial installation by the purchaser of the product in their computer, or even upon breaking the seal of the packaging enclosing the product. In the US this is known as a shrink-wrap license. When this happens, the purchaser is deemed to accept the terms and conditions enshrined within the licence. Computer programs arc specifically protected by copyright law in the UK under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 as Subsequently amended.
Exclusion and limitation clauses
The licensor cannot contract out of these, although the standard terms of some software licences may claim, or profess, to limit the liability of the supplier for loss or damages arising from the use of the software. The extent to which such clauses will be successful depends upon the loss in respect of which a claim is made, and whether or not negligence is involved. As you're aware, it's nor possible to exclude liability for death or injury due to negligence.
