EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 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.

AdrianaRM Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 who doesn't skip it? :rolleyes: but in something more serious like a bank maybe you should have read it idk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmaLouiseSmyth Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalomania Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck kottke Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 "iTunes Terms and Conditions Section 13A: At any point in time we can come take a kidney." :thinking: 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. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyan Kat Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I once read the itunes one, it was weird and confusing and i don't usually read them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I usually give them a once over, since the only T&Cs I look at are software EULAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reilly Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyrd Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 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 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 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 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
