The enforceability of shrink wrap agreements is a topic of some controversy. This is particularly true when we are talking about agreements that have to be opened before they can be seen but are binding as soon as they are opened.

If a consumer cannot read the terms of an agreement, how can they possibly agree to it? There are two opposing sides on the issue. On one hand, the argument goes something like this: some court rulings say that a consumer consents to the terms in a shrink wrap agreement by the act of paying for product, accepting the product, and opening the package. On the other side, courts say that the consumer could not possibly have consented to the terms of the agreement because they cannot view the terms until the shrink wrap is removed.

Although there is no set standard for what products come with a shrink wrap license, there are some common elements found in most products that have a shrink wrap contract.
