I agree to the Terms and Conditions

[Space Opera]

I've been wondering this for a while - does anybody actually read the Terms and Conditions of anything they sign up to? They're usually a few pages long, especially if it's something like iTunes, so does anybody actually bother?

I sometimes read them, but only when I'm signing up to something big and important.

EDIT: Oh, this is my first thread that's attempting to start a discussion. I hope it doesn't go horribly wrong.

Mainly no, and that's what they bank on.
Only when its a huge thing do I actually try to read through the wall of text.

 

[Neltharion S. Deathwing]

Almost never.

 

[Amaura]

No, though I probably should start trying to. xD

 

[Prez]

Nope :/ I really should...

 

[Hector]

Since I'm considering law school, I do actually read them sometimes. Sort of as an exercise.

 

[Metabee]

I considered reading terms and conditions a bit more after that one episode of South Park that I don't particularly want to mention, but... they're just so boring. So, um, no, I can't say I've ever read the terms and conditions for anything.

I don't know anyone who actually read them when downloading/installing something. Walls of text can be fun, but those are way too boring.

 

[Ino-Chan]

I do when I have enough time to do so.

I know what kind of walls of text you're talking about.
Anyway, no. Too boring.

When registering for something important, I do read them, at least before I grow sick of it. XD

 

[Almonds]

Who the hell reads all of them? Since I never do anything illegal, I find no problem just scrolling down and clicking "I agree".

 

[Bouffalant Herdier]

Only sometimes. I want to feel like an intellectual by reading it all, but I just can't be bothered and want to use whatever I'm signing up for as soon as possible. I'm happy to be a fool if I don't have to suffer boring walls of text. On the other hand, a certain South Park episode may have changed my mind about this.

14 votes and none of them are a definitive yes. Never change, BMGf.

 

[Juzey]

I never do. My parents do, though, so whenever I want to register for a website, I have to be really bored for about a billion years while they read them for me.

I usually glance over them to make sure it doesn't say anything about selling your soul or anything like that, but I never take the time to read it from start to finish.

 

[proserpina]

If it involves anything financial at all ever I will give them a skim, but I'd be lying if I said my default wasn't to just click "I agree" straight away.

I usually glance over them to make sure it doesn't say anything about selling your soul or anything like that, but I never take the time to read it from start to finish.

I, for one, welcome my new contractual overlords.

 

[Black_Cat320]

Usually no, but every once in a while I will to see if I can actually understand it.

So far I have yet to understand a word of it :|

 

[Synthesis]

Nope. The ludicrous walls of text put me off
