Dear Andrew Miller MP and people at Terms of Service; Didn't Read I read about your excellent efforts on Internet T&Cs in an article by Jacob Aron that was in New Scientist recently.
Back in August I became terminally frustrated by these and came up with my own solution. Put simply, when I click the *accept *button, I intone, "I do not really accept, but I had to tick the box to get your stuff. My terms and condition are publicly available on the great internet." I then copy and paste the offensive screen and save it in* my terms & conditions*. I wrote about it on my website here: http://www.georgekeeling.com/2014/08/buying-spanner-vs-buying-software.html where you can also see my very simple T&Cs. It will be interesting to test the legality of this in the courts, but it works for me. *Andrew, why doesn't your committee just write some T&Cs similar to mine and say that any internet trader / service provider must use them for consumer agreements? The EU might even adopt it.* George *Berlin: +49 30 700 88550* *London: +44 20 7735 8540 <%2B44%2020%207735%208540>* CEO: Click to slash server farm costs NOW <http://www.georgekeeling.com/p/ceo.html> <http://www.georgekeeling.com/2014/11/server-farm-energy-optimisation-sfeo.html> || *Click for * I AM PROCESS <http://www.georgekeeling.com/p/i-am-process-book.html> -- now available click here for *My Calendar <http://www.georgekeeling.com/p/my-calendar.html>** twitter: @georgekeeling* *also tweeted **@jjaron @Nigel_Shadbolt @APMiller1949 * -- tosdr.org | twitter.com/tosdr | github.com/tosdr --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Terms of Service; Didn't Read" group.
