Terms of Service: Does anyone read them before clicking accept?
 
Y'know, just in case there's no nasty surprises awaiting to trip you up.

Urist McHemlock July 17th, 2017 5:09 AM

People read the terms of service?

Spyro July 17th, 2017 5:51 AM

Not sure if you are trying to throw me in for a loop, or if you seriously do not know at all.

Percy July 18th, 2017 4:15 AM

Rumors say that if you read any Terms of Service up til' the end, you're gonna go to Heaven :P
I never read the terms. I don't know, just seems so uninteresting.

Qibli July 18th, 2017 5:21 AM

I just endlessly click accept and don't care whenever eula or tos they gave

Just imagine you sign a contract before you can do stuff with the company's product, if you say "accept" means you agree on their terms also you place your signature to tell them that you agree

I have never in my life

BlazingCobaltX July 19th, 2017 4:24 AM

I seriously tried once, but gave up after section 1.1.

alisaie July 19th, 2017 6:51 AM

The feeling when someone took the answer you were gonna say but glad it happened because rhe sarcasm was missed not one but twice smh.

No. Never bothered I'm not wasting my time with it.

Raffy98 July 19th, 2017 9:07 AM

WHAT ARE THOSE?

Never read them.

Tsutarja July 19th, 2017 4:41 PM

Wait people actually read those?

Radiating July 19th, 2017 4:43 PM

Never have, never will

Hands July 19th, 2017 11:34 PM

absolutely, under no circumstances, not

Lusus July 22nd, 2017 11:50 AM

There is basically no reason to do so. It's a giant waste of time and most ToS are the same. Anything nasty that could be put into ToS is usually completely meaningless before court laws.

ToS and EULA agreements exist to legally protect the software developer. I agree that one may find it useless, but let's just say that you cannot go after µTorrent and/or BitTorrent for getting busted for illegally torrenting, when it's stated in those agreements that the software cannot be used for illegal activity. Had their EULAs not stated that, then sure the programs could take blame.

Juno July 23rd, 2017 5:18 PM

reminded me of a great video



But to answer the question, I wish I did but no, nobody has time for that

Starry Windy July 23rd, 2017 9:50 PM

At times I've tried to read some ToS, but they ended up to be too long that I skipped reading those.

starseed galaxy auticorn July 25th, 2017 11:30 AM

I don't usually understand what I'm reading, so that's why I don't read it. I just agree without trying to confuse myself. ><

Honest July 27th, 2017 6:26 PM

Aint nobody got time for that.

LegendChu July 31st, 2017 1:08 AM

I always take care to read everything.


Pika Pika :chu:

Somewhere_ August 2nd, 2017 11:16 AM

I never read them, but never forget that the terms of service are actually legally binding.

Desert Stream~ August 2nd, 2017 12:55 PM

Eh, what's the point lol. I feel like they try to confuse you. It doesn't take 500 words to say "Don't give this out to people"

Tsutarja August 2nd, 2017 6:32 PM

FWIW, not all ToS agreements are "long" as well. Take this page from a higher education institution on network usage:


ddrox13 August 2nd, 2017 6:47 PM

To quote (or at least paraphrase, I'm doing this from memory) John Oliver:

"Apple could put the entire text of Mein Kampf in their user agreement and no one would notice"

Palamon August 20th, 2017 1:13 PM

I don't bother reading the Terms of Service. Waste of time.
