- yardstick 4y agoHas this been tested in court? It would seem the user was not given time for due consideration. Would a court agree or disagree that there was a meeting of minds?
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoUnobvious as long as someone doesn’t try it in court. I seem to remember that Zappos lost a case about unilateral modification once but I don’t know the exact content.
- car_analogy 4y agoI believe the poster was implying that contracts should not be superior to law, should not be able to remove a person's legal protections. Enforcing contracts no matter what (or in other words, placing no limits on which contracts it will enforce) should not be a legal system's goal.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoThey are never superior to law. If there is a law that says "Thou shalt not eat oranges." then no contract can stipulate eating oranges by either party, and there is no legal redress to it other than changing the law, contract law never supersedes "the law of the land"
- car_analogy 4y agoThat's a very reductive view. Yes, strictly speaking, the law is always superior. But if that law allows things such as signing away your rights, then that superiority is meaningless.
