> accept prior to using their Lenovo system for the first time Paper or first boot doesn't matter. While there are other necessary features[1], the post purchase ("shrinkwrap") EULA doesn't have a "meeting of the minds"[2] and thus is not a contract. A contract isn't a "gotcha" game - the entire point is that there is to establish a mutual agreement between parties. At the time of sale (when consideration[3] is exchanged), there is no EULA. Nothing has been negotiated and there is no mutual understanding of what is required of each party. In an ongoing attempt to circumvent the first-sale doctrine[4], the software industry has a bad habit of thinking they can throw an offer[5] at someone afterwords and have it count as a contract. They can make all the offers they want, but without another agreement and exchange of consideration[3] it's not a contract.
