Holy shit. How does this not just reduce their sales to 0?
Well, the purchase is probably already made by the time this is seen, and for those who see it, they probably just ignore it similarly to EULA popups when installing programs.
It's not legally binding.
Assuming you're talking about the US, this is correct.
In the US you need to both actively acknowledge acceptance of the T&Cs, which simply opening a package typically doesn't meet.
Also, and arguably more important, they need to include the entirety of the T&Cs for you to be able to review before accepting. This means on the packaging or presented at time of purchase, not requiring you to go elsewhere to find them or having to search them out.
Now even though it's not legally enforceable, I'd say it's still scummy and companies that do it should be avoided.
The same way millions of ~~fucking morons~~ regular non-political people voted for drumpf: they thought, "well all politicians are bad, so it's not like voting for a bad guy is bad."
Most companies have loads of legalese attempting to protect themselves. Contrary to popular belief, that does not make them all equal.
You know how all these companies are making it lives shittier?
Well people are what companies are. And people are the absolute fucking worst.
And unfortunately there are on orders of magnitude more shitty people who don't run the worst companies in existence than there are people who work for the worst of companies that are making them what they are.
Find your people, the ones that don't suck, because there are a lot more people who only want what's convenient for them and can't spare one spark of concern for all of the consequences that affect entirely too many people that don't want their decisions
Are you saying poop can be religious? It’s an inanimate object so I disagree. Your whole comment is dumb.
See I ignored the rest and just assumed. That’s how.
Just wait until you hear about holy water.
I do get the point of your comment, but I couldn’t resist
Edit: it’s also funny as hell that you got downvoted, thereby proving your point. People really don’t read to the end of things
