I believe that we have to careful about this type of agreement because I, myself before read this article usually do not care about that and most of the time I just click on agree without reading the agreement and now I found that if I face with any problem because I pushed the agree, I could not defense!

Its always easier to say rather than to keep the promise to read a click wrap agreement before you push the "I Agree" button. After studying all these issues in Cyberlaw, i try to be more conservative, so few minutes ago by installing a program for the first time in my life i read the click wrap agreement. obviously i am making progress!! But still its not easy to lay off a bad habit.
