Document background
The Clickwrap License agreement serves as a legally binding contract between digital service providers and their users in Hong Kong's jurisdiction. This document type has become increasingly important with the growth of digital services and electronic commerce, providing a streamlined way to obtain user consent while maintaining legal enforceability. It's particularly relevant for software applications, websites, and digital platforms where traditional signed agreements are impractical. The agreement must comply with Hong Kong's Electronic Transactions Ordinance and Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, while incorporating elements of common law contract principles. Companies typically implement this when launching new digital products, updating terms of service, or requiring user consent for specific features or services.
