About This Commodity
In an effort to streamline the purchasing process for IT click-through agreements, a 90-day pilot program was implemented on June 1, 2024, for use by the campuses.
Definition of Click-Through Agreements:
Contracts, generally associated with online transactions and software, where one party sets up a proposed electronic form agreement to which another party may assent by clicking an icon or a button or by typing in a set of specified words. Click-Through Agreements are also known as click-wrap agreements.
If all of the criteria below are met, Click-Through Agreements can forego Office of General Counsel (OGC) and Risk & Insurance Management (RIM) review:
- Under $25,000 for the contract term;
- Online terms and conditions do not require signature;
- DCL1 or DCL2 only;
- Approved by respective University Campus IT; and
- Catalogued and available for audit inspection by OGC.
Departments must send any click-through agreement to their respective campus IT department for review and determination whether the click-through agreement meets the above criteria. Agreements must be sent prior to clicking on any agreement to accept the terms and conditions.
If the click through terms to which you agree upon contain an auto-renewal clause, it is the department’s responsibility to be aware of the contract term to which you committed and to make note of the timeframe required by the agreement for you to terminate the contract if you no longer wish to renew it for another term. Procurement will not have visibility to these agreements. Further, if you receive notification that the supplier updated or changed their terms or conditions, you must restart the process with IT for approval of such terms.
If, at any time during the life of the product, a security, data, privacy, or legal concern arises, the University may cease and desist its use pursuant to applicable policy.
