Roy Schestowitz <newsgroups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> did eloquently scribble:

In order for any part of the EULA to be enforcable, doesn't one need to
actually USE the product?

How can they enforce a "No benchmark/side by side comparison" type
restriction on something like PRICE? Which is available without ever having
bought, let alone installed, the product?

Someone looking at a price list isn't an end user. They might not even
consider becoming one.
