In
Part 1 we looked at some basic concepts. In Part 2, we look at
"enhanced disclosure" requirements.
If the computer program that is to be installed performs one or
more of the functions listed below, the person who seeks express
consent must disclose additional information. This disclosure must
be made "clearly and prominently, and separately and apart
from the licence agreement". In this additional or enhanced
disclosure, the software vendor must describe the program's
"material elements" including the nature and purpose of
the program, and the impact on the user's computer system. A
software vendor must bring this info to the attention of the user.
This applies if you, as the software vendor, want to install a
program that does any of the following things, and causes the
computer system to operate in a manner that "is contrary to
the reasonable expectations of the owner". (You have to guess
at the reasonable expectations of the user.) These are the
functions
