I wish their iTunes EULAs etc. were that clear.

  EULAs are legal documents. This inherently makes them wordy, because they have to be valid, completely unambiguous, and satisfy all sorts of legal requirements in hundreds of different jurisdictions. The App Store submission guidelines, by contrast, aren't a legal document. They're essentially just documentation, and as such can be written however Apple sees fit.

    I know that. There is the possibility though to have a human readable EULA side by side with the lawyer readable one. That would actually be fair towards the users. Here's a good example: https://about.500px.com/terms/ https://about.500px.com/terms/

I'm guessing the lawyers would reject that for fear of what'd happen in case of conflicts between the "lawyer" version and reasonable interpretations of the "human-readable" version.

        They use 60 unreadable pages abandoning all my rights on anything i do with the software, they can spend another line declaring that the human version is not binding.

          They're corporate lawyers, do you expect them to have compassion or something? What next, HR putting employees first?

            I hope your day hasn't been too sad.

              He does have a point. The EULA is inherently user unfriendly and they gain nothing by providing a shorter, possibly contradictory version.
