A clickwrap agreement (also known as a "clickthrough" agreement or clickwrap license) is a common type of agreement (often used in connection with software licenses). Such forms of agreement are mostly found on the Internet, as part of the installation process of many software packages, or in other circumstances where agreement is sought using electronic media. The name "clickwrap" came from the use of "shrink wrap contracts" commonly used in boxed software purchases, which "contain a notice that by tearing open the shrinkwrap, the user assents to the software terms enclosed within".[1]

Som beskrevet over kommer ordet av "shrinkwrap", og det jo fortsatt mulig å sende ut produkter i esker, der en må godta sluttbrukeravtalen i det en åpner esken.

Siden det er snakk om "click wrap", kan det være på sin plass å skrive at dette gjelder sluttbrukeravtaler som krever elektronisk samtykke.
