End-user
Encyclopedia : E : EN : END : End-user
Economics and commerce define an end-user as the person who uses a product. The end-user may differ from the customer, who might buy the product, but doesn't necessarily use it; for example, with elephant food, a zookeeper might purchase commodities as a customer for an end-user - the elephant. In contracts, the term 'end-user' becomes a legal construct referring to a non-reseller. This definition characterises the store the zookeeper bought food from as a non-end-user, but the zookeeper as an end-user. This legal construct most often appears in End User License Agreements, also known as EULAs.
Discussion of end-users commonly occurs in the context of computer applications.
