Terms and Conditions
-
How many of you actually read them? Now, I only took one contract law class in college, but this seems VERY dubious to me: XI. may make changes to these terms at any time without notifying me. As a user, I am solely responsible for reading the most current version of the terms and conditions. This cannot reasonably be considered a contract.

What constitutes a valid term depends not only on what you have agreed, but also on the legislation by the parliament and common law principles established by the court. ( Suppose it is within the common law world's jurisprudence ). I think : Generally the terms cannot be changed after the contract is formed, once there is change in terms one must communicate to another party. The later must agree in order to form a 'new contract' if the term is 'important'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thornton\_v\_Shoe\_Lane\_Parking\_Ltd

I've tried to read a couple of times but ADD and lack of lawyerese prevent me from getting anything out of them. I believe they make them that way so the average Joe won't take the time and they can pretty much do anything they want and you'll never know. Now if they they were truthful this would be there Terms and COnditions; We can do whatever we want, when we want without your knowledge or permission and if we don't like these terms we can change them anytime we want. Now that I can understand!
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead? Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9. I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

The problem I find with organizations that make changes to your TOC are the ones in which you have a substantial monetary and software investment. Like Apple with their 87 page contract. If I were to read the thing all the way through and found something I didn't like, am I expected to drop everything I have on my iPad/iPhone and start shelling out more money for apps on an Android just to avoid that one part I don't like?

Exactly and who's going to wade through 87 pages?, it's just ridiculous and they know you won't read it.

That's a good trick. The ToC equivalent of a blank cheque. Next month: XII. as a user, I agree to sacrifice my immortal soul to Lord Lucifer.

I agree with you and KP. What struck me was the brazen and obvious nonsense the wording represented. Almost an alien mindset to common sense.
