The EULA spells out what is legal, not what is or isn't considered acceptable in society. For a business to arbitrarily remove their customer's data may be entirely legal, but it's a very shitty thing to do, and that business shouldn't expect many customers if it goes around acting like that all the time.
- JimDabell 6y ago> The EULA spells out what is legal, not what is or isn't considered acceptable in society. The question that was asked was: > Sue them for what exactly? So the EULA spelling out what is legal is the relevant factor when answering that question.
- belorn 6y agoIn this cases it not the EULA but rather the service contract that is the most relevant document. The same law that binds you to pay a contract once agreed on binds the other party to deliver. A refund does not automatically free the provider from the contract, through its a good step. An EULA can try to side step this but it depend on how the agreement was made, when, what information was provided before agreement, and so on. There is also a bunch of laws for consumer protection and Fair Business Practices, and it depend on where the people involved is located.
- kemonocode 6y agoNo, the EULA spells out what a given company allows with their product. Between that and something that's legally enforceable there's a huge leap.
- andylynch 6y agoNot really, it's entirely possible for an EULA to have unenforceable terms, i.e. where they contradict applicable law. Not a good practice! But also not that uncommon.
