An End User License Agreement (EULA) is the license that governs how people may install and use your software: the rights you grant and the restrictions and disclaimers attached to them. For a Chrome Extension, getting it right matters: The Chrome Web Store requires a privacy policy whenever an extension handles personal or sensitive user data, and enforces a Limited Use policy on how that data may be used. This free EULA generator asks a few questions about your Chrome Extension and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Chrome Extension needs a EULA
A EULA sets the terms of a software license rather than a service, limits your liability, and lets you prohibit misuse such as reverse-engineering, resale, or redistribution.

What a Chrome Extension EULA should cover
A good EULA for a Chrome Extension is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- What the extension reads from pages or browsing activity
- Host permissions and the single purpose they serve
- Compliance with the Chrome Web Store Limited Use requirements
- The scope of the license you grant (personal, non-exclusive, revocable)
- Restrictions such as no reverse-engineering, resale, or redistribution
- Ownership of intellectual property and any third-party components
- A warranty disclaimer, liability limits, and termination terms
How this generator works
PolicySmith builds your EULA entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server. Answer the questions above about analytics, payments, AI features, and the regions your users live in, and the document updates to match. Export it as HTML or Markdown, paste it into your Chrome Extension, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
When does a Chrome extension require a privacy policy?
Whenever it collects or transmits personal or sensitive user data, including web history, content of pages, or authentication info. You must disclose this and certify Limited Use in the developer dashboard.
EULA or terms of service — which do I need?
A EULA licenses installed software; terms of service govern an online service. Desktop, mobile, and downloadable apps typically use a EULA, while web and SaaS products use terms of service — some use both.
Is a click-through EULA enforceable?
Generally yes, when users must affirmatively accept it (a clickwrap "I agree") before using the software. A EULA with no acceptance step is weaker. Have a lawyer review high-stakes terms.
