Document background
This Freeware EULA template is designed for use in South Africa when distributing software products at no cost to end users. It incorporates essential provisions required by South African legislation, including the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002, Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, and POPIA. The document should be used whenever releasing free software to the public, whether by individual developers, organizations, or companies. It covers crucial aspects such as license grant, usage restrictions, intellectual property rights, warranty disclaimers, and liability limitations, all tailored to comply with South African legal requirements. The EULA protects both the software provider's interests and user rights while ensuring transparency and fairness in the software distribution process.
