"the EULA is the only thing that authorizes you to use the software to begin with" Can you override a law with a EULA?

  No, but you can get people to waive some of their rights under law, in exchange for not being held liable under other laws, which is how EULAs work.

    It's difficult for me to imagine how this would work in my country's case. As a user of a product, you can't just say that the law doesn't apply to you even if the vendor wants you to say that. > in exchange for not being held liable under other laws And what other laws would apply here?

      This is pretty standard for trespassing. It’s illegal to be on someone’s private property if they don’t want you there. “Wanting you there” can very much be conditional on other agreements.

        That's not suppressing the law, though. That's just using it the way it's written. And definitely doesn't qualify as an example of a threat of "being held liable under other laws" IMO.
