This is based on the case: Register.com, Inc. V. Verio, Inc., (S.D.N.Y. 2000). Read the following case and answer the end questions.

The company "Register.com, Inc"., alleges that Verio had violated the terms of use of Register.com's WHOIS database. Verio understands that the terms are not binding, since users can access the database with or without the express consent of the terms of use. Meanwhile, the Register.com company points out that Verio cannot claim that it has not consented to its terms of use, since they are clearly published on its website. At the end of the terms, it states that "by making this inquiry, you agree to be bound by these terms." Verio does not claim that you did not understand these terms, but rather that you are not required to "click" on an icon indicating your acceptance of the terms.

Based on the previous case, please briefly answer the following questions (BRIEFLY):

a) Is this an example of a shrinkwrap or a clickwrap?

b) Did the users of the licenses consent to the terms of the licenses? Justify your answer.

c) Are the parties bound by contract?

d) Can they go to court in case of infringement of the license terms? Justify your answer.

e) Please offer your point of view on the subject. Do you feel safe with the way electronic contracts are worked?
