Have you ever read the entire EULA before clicking “agree” or “accept,” or otherwise entering into the contract that it is? It’s unlikely that anyone always reads them in full. Even if you do, which you should, it is almost a certainty that you do not fully understand the terms, language, and its legal implications.

By Wednesday’s end, identify one EULA that you have entered into. We are each parties to many of them, whether from an application, mobile app, software or hardware (printers, for example, include EULAs). In your Initial Post, describe the EULA or provide a link to it (many are quite long, so copy-paste may burden the Discussion), making sure that others can access it for review. Discuss at least two terms or clauses in the contract that are vague, and give at least two possible interpretations of each. How might the interpretations favor the manufacturer/vendor/owner of the product or service covered under the EULA? How might they favor you as the consumer?

You have just received a document from the DogsTogs hotline firm that captures an overnight report. The person calling in remained anonymous and reported that garment staff are being forced to work double shifts at reduced pay. They are being threatened by DogsTogs local management that they will be fired if they tell headquarters. It sounds like local management is pushing production so that they can receive better bonuses. But the workers are paying the price. You have a lot to think about — and you need to think quickly. You also need to notify your Executive Team and the Board.

Discuss what your immediate and short term actions would be.
For instance…

Will you get on a plane to investigate?
Will you send someone else?
Hire investigators?
Will you reach out to any cross-functional teams or employees that will be impacted by this?
Should you do a press release now or at some point in the future?
