User Acceptance Process

The user acceptance process is a protocol that the person who uses the system must be aware of and sign off on to allow the person to actually be able to update/install software. This process is a contract which ensures that the owner is aware of all changes and risks of which their system will be vulnerable to, and wipes all liablility from the actual person doing the installation.
This is presented as a form like the terms and conditions you see on software like iTunes, so a long list of items which will be either changed or at risk of accedental corruption/deletion by the process. The owner then must consent to these changes and get multiple updates at different stages of the process so as they know that what they have signed off and allowed for is actually getting done.
