Clickwrap, Browsewrap, and Digital Assent in Apps and Texts: Enforceability of Online Contracts

BarbriPdBannerMessage

About the Course

Introduction

This webinar will examine online contract formation and enforceability in an evolving digital environment. The panel will discuss how courts evaluate the structure and presentation of clickwrap, sign-in-wrap, browsewrap, and similar assent mechanisms. The panel will cover current risks in digital contracting, including platform design, sufficiency of notice, and evidentiary considerations in disputes.

Description

Online contracting has gone beyond the familiar desktop “click to accept” model. Companies now form agreements through mobile interfaces, apps, digital marketplaces, QR-based transactions, and more. Courts continue to scrutinize how terms are displayed, clarity in user flows, and whether the user received legally sufficient notice before being bound. Counsel must understand recent case law and prevailing standards to advise clients on designing enforceable mechanisms for assent and preparing to defend those designs in litigation.

Listen as our panel discusses current thinking on assent, formation and enforceability, providing practical guidance for drafting, structuring, and litigating online agreements.
