A Clickthru Agreement describes when a purchaser of software or a subscriber to an online service must click a button before the software installation is completed or the online service can be accessed by the subscriber. A clickthru agreement also describes the process of completing an ecommerce transaction (such as the purchase of some product from a website) where the purchaser must click a button before completing the transaction. The legal effect of the purchaser being required to click-through the button (where there is notice given that there are terms and conditions that are to be accepted or rejects) is that the purchaser is acknowledging their acceptance of those terms and conditions. The assent to those terms and conditions by clicking through the button will take effect whether the purchaser chooses to read or chooses to ignore the terms and conditions.
