Post by: Charismatic on November 29, 2010, 07:26:56 pm: Ebay does not have a soul clause does it?

Also any contract to big to be read through in 10 minutes or less should be NULL - baring national\international treaties. Any good-to-consumer like TOS should be simple. None of this tricky buiznesz.

But, LOL @ link. Im glad a video game company did it. I want to see one of these emails to customers they are sending out.

Post by: IceFire on November 29, 2010, 11:34:29 pm: As far as I know there is a clause somewhere in most law systems that state that no contract can exceed the spirit in which it was written. So even if a TOS agreement states that the user, by agreeing, gives away their soul and their first borne son during the next full moon - they aren't allowed to enforce that part of the agreement. It's a sort of "stupid" clause... not sure for which party it applies exactly... probably both :D
