Generally speaking, a software license and various terms-of-service and terms-of-use agreements say the following:
- Whatever you think we said, or whatever we said, about the product may have nothing to do with reality, and you agree not to expect that it does.
- No matter what happens, including damage to your equipment or even someone's death, you agree not to blame us even if it is our fault.
- If we are a Web site and you use it, no matter what bad things happen, it is not our fault.
- If you contribute anything at all to a site or system, we own it.
- You will never sue us for anything, ever.
My advice is to have a 13-year-old do all the installations and make all the agreements. They cannot legally enter into these contracts. I wish someone would try that trick and litigate it.
