I'm curious about this from a U.S. legal perspective.
Suppose I advertise (and sell) a product without clearly informing the buyer of additional requirements they'll face in order to use the product as advertised.
E.g., access functionality via WiFi, accept an EULA, etc.
At what point does that become fraud or illegally deceptive advertising?
I'm assuming that there's some allowance for assuming common knowledge, e.g. that an electric oven will require a 220-240V connection. But if there's a legal line to be crossed, where is it?
- gambiting 5y agoHe literally shows a screenshot in the article with the line highlighted telling you that you have to connect an app to unlock some features. You'd have a hard time arguing that's deceptive advertising.
- CoastalCoder 5y agoSorry, I only noticed that after writing my comment. So maybe my question applies to other situations but not this particular one.
