I'm with you on that boat... let's hope we never get sued :)

I'm not lawyer, but generally providers can't hold us to a contract if the provider didn't think we would read (bad faith contract). However, we can't void a contract by choosing not to read it. hehe...

You can't outsmart the law -- so unknowingly being stupid might be the best defense :)




Very much on your side I think would be the fact that virtually no one reads them and millions of them are clicked/signed per day. This isn't just a just a case of you not reading a contract you knew you wanted to violate, but you engaging in a very standard practice, known to the companies themselves and everyone else.

The fiction of terms of services only exists so long as they go unchallenged in any major sense.
