"Browsewrap exists where the online host dictates that assent is given merely by using the site."[2] "Browsewraps can take various forms but basically the website will contain a notice that—by merely using the services of, obtaining information from, or initiating applications within the website—the user is agreeing to and is bound by the site's terms of service."[3] "For an internet browsewrap contract to be binding, consumers must have reasonable notice of a company's 'terms of use' and exhibit 'unambiguous assent' to those terms."[4]
