After going back and looking at some of the fine print at http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/InfoTc I see the usual assortment of one-sided lawyer-ese that essentially surrenders in advance in the event of any-of-many misdeeds on my part. Some of the terms are poorly drafted, but of understandable intent -- eg, no child-porn. Nevertheless there is nothing I could see about resolving false alarms or restitution after repair of 3rd-party damage. Google also tells me of some complaints that their unconditional money-back cancellation guarantee really has conditions if you accept certain promotions. This is true, and while they do point out the non-applicability of their money-back idea, it does fall into something akin to bait-and-switch. Nevertheless, I am still reasonably content with value received, even if I do maybe have a better appreciation for avoiding single-point risk of data loss (say, due to actions of someone else I allow to create content). Has anyone seen terms that don't have such david/goliath discrepancies? Does any provider actually promise to protect your data even in cases of usage disputes? Or to arbitrate disputes? Or anything else more "equal". Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
