With the announcement that Diablo III Friends & Family Internal Beta testing has officially begun, and no NDA is required, now we can post the installer screenshots and the EULA. Sorry, I personally don’t like to post Leaks until they are official.

By accepting the terms of this agreement, you agree that Blizzard may distribute the Game using the upload capacity of the System to ‘upload’ all or part of the Game to other participants of the Test.
