"lucrative lawsuit or settlement" How? If I'm not mistaken the terms clearly say the company is not responsible in these kind of situations.

- jacques_chester 15y agoWhat gets written into a contract, and what a court will uphold, can be two very different things. Lawyers regularly include language in contracts, notices, terms of use etc that they know won't hold up, because it will intimidate a certain percentage of people into not even trying. The classic example is those signs in parking lots saying "we accept no liability for damage to your car". Well in an unmodified common law jurisdiction, it's a bailee-bailor relationship and they are on the hook for the damage. Contracts are not like computer programs. They can and do include deliberate bullshit included purely for strategic bluffing purposes. Of course, IANAL, TINLA.
