Have you ever read the Ts & Cs? poll results/discussion

srvr

I use this tool to help me quickly check them, its analyses them, compares against a database and highlights any "Interesting" bits and brings them to your attention. Best of all its free.

There is always a catch of some kind that is why I always read t & c's as 9 times out of 10 there's a wolf in sheeps clothing waiting for a naive lamb to feast on and it's not going to be me!

I always read bank account terms and credit-card terms but I do not read software terms, simply because I don't have the time! For the amount of services people sign up for it's simply too much to read. I am a student, so I have read my student accommodation contract and insurance terms – basically, I always read terms where my money is involved.

Thanks to srvr, having just had to format my computer, I forgot the name of the EULA analyser that I previously relied upon. So no I dont read them, I let this programe pick out any juicy bits.

On the flip side if you REALLY want a service is there any point in reading it, as you have to agree to get the service!

Very interesting Result.... 'though hardly surprising.
On-Line T's & C's are usually padded out with such verbiage I rarely get beyond the definitions of terms...
I do things on-line because I'm in a Hurry and want to cut-to-the chase.

I rely on all of You to winkle out the catches and dodgy terms & Highlight them for me on here.

Such is the power of user communities , such as this one...

Thankyou Martin & All Contributors .

there wasn't an option for "i don't read them because other MSEers have already done it and thoughtfully posted up their opinions and potential pitfalls etc" or "Martin wrote it all in the email so I didn't need to"
