These tech companies are ridiculous to the point that some law should be written to curb their attitudes.
IANAL, but doesn’t contract law already cover this? Apple terminated the contract one sided. They are allowed to do so, but only by acting in good faith and fair dealing. That they were willing to let this person open a new account (new contract) but not willing to reinstate the existing contract and also unwilling to explain how this person could avoid a similar punishment seems to indicate at least a lack of fair dealing.
The ABA has this to say: In general, the duty of good faith and fair dealing means, for example, that parties cannot evade the spirit of the bargain, lack diligence or slack off, perform incorrectly on purpose, abuse their power when specifying the terms of a contract, or interfere with or fail to cooperate in the other party’s performance.
I wonder if this person had took apple to small claims court instead of trying to navigate apple’s kangaroo court system what the outcome would have been.
