Terms and Conditions

[EmmaLouiseSmyth]

Has it gotten to a point where it is just acknowledged that no one reads them?

I was on the phone today setting up something with the bank and she asked me if I agreed with the terms and conditions...I was solely on phone, there was no way for me to read them. If I wanted to know them (and said I had no computer atm), would she of had to read them out to me?

But I said yes, she had no problem with that and nothing was really thought of it.

who doesn't skip it? :rolleyes:

but in something more serious like a bank maybe you should have read it idk...

[MrLick]

I let my lawyers look over them all.

[EmmaLouiseSmyth]

Ughh, I need a lawyer. I have no legal problems, they just seem handy.

I do read them sometimes, just out of curiosity. The itunes ones are kind of strange.

:thinking:

[Megalomania]

I never read them. :P

Although as soon as they're for something like renting an apartment I know I will read all of them. :bomb:

[Space Cadet]

I scan them if it`s something that could have weird implications. I read them if it`s financial sort of stuff. Software, they get a vague glance if I`m not in a hurry.

Only if you're a member of the Stones!:P

^^But is that really in the agreement? :stunned: I know when reading credit card agreements, there's all sorts of interesting stuff starting around 1/2 way through, and I'm sure that's how they've gotten some people to cough up extra dough - giving just a casual glance to the terms can getcha in a jam sometimes! No doubt about it, if it's important enough, read it very very carefully and then decide. ;)

[rudy_o]

Never read them. :| :shame:

[Cyan Kat]

I once read the itunes one, it was weird and confusing and i don't usually read them.

[Cobalt]

I usually give them a once over, since the only T&Cs I look at are software EULAs

[Tnspieler1012]

I always do a double-take after having seen the human cent-ipad episode of south park.

[Reilly]

Most T's and C's are pretty easy to scan over, you get an idea what sections are referring to and you get a sense of what it says by briefly reading over the sentences, most of which is being overly specific for every possible situation (And look very similar to other T's and C's). The more particular parts stick out once you get used to it.

[Wyrd]

I read them. Scan most of it. Because sometimes they say they'll spam your email like a madman or give it to shitheads that will and I rather have them not spamming me. I usually don't enter contests when such things are in the T & C.

Also, why do they always have to be so loooooong :(

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

depend on what it is, if is like the license to play a game or use a software i've used before i generally don't read it, but if is some new thing i may read it, may not completely but some parts.

[Black Rose]

If it's for something like free software then I don't read then, if it's something important like terms & conditions of employment than I would read then

[The Final Track]

If it's only like a couple of terms, yes, but not if it's one of those that literally take an hour to read.
