https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/terms-and-conditions.html https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/terms-and-conditions.html
I wonder how one can tell if one has agreed to a particular T&C at any point. Do companies have to maintain an api so I can query if I have agreed to a particular version of the T&C?
- thomasjudge 3y agoI just went to view them and I got the below text at the top of the page. I am agreeing to their T&C if I view their website? "Our Terms and Conditions have changed. Please take a moment to review the new McDonald’s Terms and Conditions by clicking on the link. These include a binding arbitration provision and waiver of your right to a trial in court, including your right to a jury trial, as well as updates to the arbitration and dispute resolution process. By continuing to use our website, you are indicating that you have reviewed and agree to these Terms and Conditions including the binding arbitration provision. You are also indicating that you understand that you are agreeing to a legally binding contract and intend to do so."
- bythreads 3y agoYes, all should - if you cannot with 100% surety tell what a user said yes to the contract is void. I've successfully litigated against 4 companies that did not. 90% of companies just have a Boolean in a db.
- bythreads 3y agoAlso all the bs with "if you use our site you automatically agree with our terms" is a lawsuit waiting to happen - the law is clear - the user must give clear and unequivocal consent - and it is also not ok to "agree with x, y and z by clicking here" that would require informed consent on x y and z seperately. (Edit: eu for context)
- rchaud 3y agoThat's the beauty of this tactic - you brought the legal action, so it's on you to prove that you didn't agree to the T&Cs.
