I live in Washington. The Accept/Decline software licensing agreements which are on everything seem fundamentally flawed. When I purchase a computer system or software haven't I already entered into a contractual agreement with the vendor, to exchange money for a product that I expect to perform certain specific functions? Are additional software licensing agreements on software installed or bundled by the vendor a renegotiation of that original contract? I cannot use what I have already purchased without agreeing to new terms and that seems a deceptive practice. In the case of the operating system and other software critical to the product's performance of the functions I have already agreed to pay for, I then must enter into this agreement under duress; I was never presented an alternative. If I am not too far off base here, any of the above seem like more than enough reason to consider the Accept/Decline software licensing agreement to not be binding.
