Ever read the "terms of service"?

As an example:

company xyz reserves the right to modify these terms of service at any time. You agree to review these terms of service regularly, and, at a minimum, to review these terms of service at least once every 15 days. Failure to discontinue use of our service within twenty-five (25) days of any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new agreement

...

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless company xyz and its contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, and affiliates from any losses, damages or costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, resulting from any claim or demand arising out of or related to your (including your contractors', agents', employees', officers', directors', shareholders' and affiliates', whether or not on your behalf, and whether or not with your permission) use of the Service, including without limitation claims arising out of or related to your violation of these terms of service, or your violation of the rights of another person, or the content of any message or poll created through the Service. Should company xyz be notified of a pending legal action, or receive notice of the filing of a legal action, company xyz may seek written confirmation from you concerning your obligation to indemnify company xyz, and you agree to provide such confirmation promptly.

So they can change the rules at any time, and I loose no matter what I do. Sounds fair to me! :blink:

Pretty sad. This really isn't a bad one either. They get worse. Just skim over it so you know what your getting yourself into. :rtfm:

makes you think to be a lawyer all you need to do is write long sentences. They taught us not to do that in grade school. :rolleyes:

There is no such thing as "service" these days.

How you can have "terms" (which means "conditions") on something non-existant is a mystery.

So the conditions can be nothing more than a means of enhancing the companies chances of "getting away with it".
