EULA is the acronym for End User License Agreement. We believe the world would be a better place without the need for all these legal agreements but unfortunately things seem to get worse instead of better - so below you can read the EULA governing the use of our ZooBase product.

Please note that you will have to accept this EULA in its entirety in order to use ZooBase - your only other option is to not use it.
