A point-and-click agreement is an electronic version of a shrink-wrap license. It is an agreement between a computer user and a software provider. The user agrees to the terms of an electronically displayed agreement by pointing the cursor to a particular location on the screen and then clicking. This type of agreement usually requires express acceptance only once but may include a clause providing for a user's ongoing acceptance of any changes to the agreement's terms, whether or not the user is notified of the changes.
For example, when you download software, you may be asked to agree to the terms and conditions of the software provider. You will be presented with a screen that outlines the terms and conditions, and you will be required to click on a button to indicate that you agree to the terms. This is a point-and-click agreement.
