It requires sellers to clearly disclose that a purchase is a license, not outright ownership, and to provide specific information about restrictions and conditions. The bill also mandates that sellers obtain an affirmative acknowledgement from the purchaser regarding these disclosures and offers prorated refunds for certain digital goods purchased for $20 or more if access is permanently revoked without alternative access.
