"... so I'll strike this clause out"
Unfortunately, this option is taken away from us in online transactions. There is no legally binding way to change the text of the contract, and you are even forced to tick these "I accept the terms of ..." check boxes before proceeding.
- kragen 14y agoI edit online contracts this way all the time. Right-click in Chrome, "Inspect Element", right-click, "Edit element as HTML".
- sirclueless 14y agoI'd like to see someone argue that in court.
- NegativeK 14y agoIt's come up on This Week in Law. Someone was sending back a modified EULA in the POST data. The lawyers on the show mainly thought it was cute and not something that would be recognized in court.
- kragen 14y agoSure. My thought is that, if it won't be recognized in court, probably neither will the "I accept" checkbox.
- vsync 14y agoI've implemented electronic signatures before and what I like to do is have the browser submit the agreement back to the server and the server rejects it if it's been altered.
- kragen 14y agoThat seems reasonable.
