  Shrinkwrap License Agreements
The argument for enforcement rests upon the claim that "shrink wrap" licenses and standard form contracts are conceptually identical for purposes of determining their validity.
"Shrink wrap" licenses are qualitatively different from standard form contracts and, it follows, are unenforceable under traditional contract principles, because the buyer does not consent to their terms or reach a meeting of the minds with the vendor.
The same analysis applies to insurance contracts delivered after the insured has purchased his policy and paid the first premium, and to airline tickets often purchased and paid for by telephone and then the tickets and contract terms are delivered to the buyer.

Contract law liberalizes this fundamental requirement, however, through a set of rules and interpretations to determine when an offer is made and when a manifestation of assent is present.
If the contract is not evidenced by a single record, but consists of a series of communications, different terms may arise within the series and a "battle of the forms" n207 arises concerning which terms the parties intended to incorporate into the agreement.
When parties have reduced their contract to what appears to be a fully or partially integrated memorialization, no party may introduce evidence of communications prior to or contemporaneous with the contract's execution to vary its integrated terms.

 Click wrap contracts / Shrink wrap contracts
The concept of traditional contract law understands that for a party to be bound by the terms of the contract, a party must have first agreed to it’s terms and consequently signed it.
The main advantage of click-wrap contracts over shrink-wrap contracts to me seems to be the fact that with click-wrap contracts you’re given a clear opportunity to read through the terms and conditions of the contract before you agree to them.
Although it is true to say that shrink-wrap contracts are gaining wide acceptance, this lack of full legal acceptance is seen as a worrying fact for software companies that want to precisely control the terms and conditions for use, limitation of liabilities and warranties and warranty disclaimers of software for their protection.

Shrink wrap packaging involves the use of thermoplastic or thermosetting films that shrink when heat is applied to them.
Usually the shrink wrap process uses centerfolded shrink film - film that has been folded in half and wound into a roll.  The package is formed by sliding the product to be wrapped between the center folds of shrink film.
Using either an I-Bar sealer or a L-Sealer the package is then sealed on three sides to form the loose envelope of film around the product.  In a matter of seconds, the film is sealed and cut simultaneously.

For example, if a complicated term in a contract is buried in a boilerplate contract and it is a term that a reasonable party could not understand after careful reading of the contract, the court may limit its enforceability.
Make sure that the contract includes a provision regarding a representation or warranty that says that the person who is entering into the contract is who they say they are; and if they are entering the contract on another's behalf, then they have the right to be binding that other person.
Restatement (Second) Contracts 17 (stating in relevant part that "the formation of a contract requires a bargain in which there is a manifestation of mutual assent to the exchange and a consideration").

 Shrink Wrap Agreements Lawyers, Legal Information, Attorney Finder
The term “shrink wrap agreement” refers to the purchase agreements that are attached to shipped products, usually bound by shrink wrap (plastic wrapping) that contain terms and conditions.
Courts have been split as to whether a consumer consents to the terms in a shrink wrap agreement since he pays for the product and goes so far as to open the package, but does not have actual knowledge of what the terms are until he opens the package to read them.
Because the law surrounding shrink wrap agreements is uncertain, contacting an experienced attorney can help you make certain what your rights and remedies are when you are a party to a shrink wrap agreement and you believe you may have a claim.

 Shrink Wrap Agreements [NYS-STLC]
For example, software sold in stores is commonly packaged in a box or other container, and then wrapped in clear plastic wrap.
Through the clear plastic wrap on the box, the purchaser can see the warning that states the use of the software is subject to the terms of a license agreement contained inside, an agreement that cannot be read prior to purchase of the software.
The court ruled that the absence of contract terms on the outside of the box containing the software was irrelevant because every software box also contained a warning, notice or some other indication that the software comes with restrictions stated in an enclosed license.

 Denounced By Richard Stallman!
RMS is opposed to the Free World Licence primarily because it is framed as a "shrink-wrap"/"click-wrap" software licence contract rather than as a pure copyright licence.
An additional incentive for employing contract form came from an analysis of the GNU GPL's no-warranty and no-liability clauses.
However, Richard Stallman is opposed to "shrink wrap" and "click wrap", and other such forms of "up-front" contract software licences because he says that they are an attempt "to deny the user the legal right to run a lawfully-acquired copy of the program." Consequently, he has said he would denounce the The Free World Licence.

These cases each have held that “notice on the outside, terms on the inside,” with a reasonable opportunity to review the terms and return the product, is an acceptable means of forming contracts involving software and intellectual property rights.
By essentially “doubling-up” a purchaser in this manner, there may be even less chance that the purchaser will be able to avoid the vendor’s terms, including the vendor’s restrictions on use and resale, disclaimers of warranties, and forum selection clauses.
Although courts appear to have accepted the enforceability of both shrink-wrap and click-wrap agreements as a general matter of contract formation, to ensure the enforceability of these agreements, software vendors should still use commercially reasonable terms that are clearly set forth in their agreements.
