Wow. To my understanding (IANAL), EULAs are on shaky enough legal
ground as it is. Well, I don't see how they can get away with *that*
unless they provide you with a paper copy of it that you have to agree
to *before* you open the case. ("By reading this sentence, you agree to
pay me $3,000.")
Perhaps a simple way around that: ask the sales person to "make sure it
works all right" before you leave. That way, you're not the one
agreeing to the EULA.
Don't know. It might work.
