You've already spent more than $4.00 in your time just typing the email and
stewing over the matter. Forget about it.
I received a bill the other day for $3.95 in the mail, apparently I had
clicked on a popup which I thought was to get a free screen saver and
<ASS_U_ME_d free> mortgage information. Apparently the screen saver is
and the info/mortgage calculator is $3.95. The info/mortgage calculator
was
worthless and out of date by any measure, but hey you take your chances,
that's life.
<Dumbass_admission_ON>
OK I only read about the first paragraph of the terms of the license
agreement, which were many pages in very small (6 point) font inside a
small
2" x 3" popup>
<Dumbass_admission_OFF>
I went back and relooked at the website and popup, and you have to look
hard
and read carefully to realize what they're saying is free, so I copied
then
pasted the text into Word, expanded it to 12 point, it took 7 pages, then
read the entire popup and yes it says, "...and you'll never be charged
more
than four dollars for this service..." near the bottom, screened by a lot
of
nonsense in before it.
My question is how enforceable is their ability to collect the few bucks,
i.e. can I ignore it, claim I didn't order it (they sent it by mail and
email). I'm a little bit amused, but also think that's a pretty #@($ty
way
to do business.
Thank you in advance, Dave
