I am the parent of 3 kids. They are all minors (younger than 16). In our state, minors can not legally enter into contracts. Does this apply to EULAs? I believe that the thinking in the law is: kids do not have a firm enough grasp of the long term legal concequences of contracts.
So, does this apply in EULAs? If one of my kids puts a program on my computer that does damage, they could not be held to the contract. I did not enter into the contract, I can't be held responsible, is the vendor now held responsible? They knowingly sell to minors . . .
