Probably indeed a US liability thing. The FTC-like agency in my country publishes standard letters for this and a tool on their website to find the right letter or generate it based on some input.
We still get the same consumer-hostile practices from companies, but usually they give up if you send them one of those letters.
- calmbonsai 2y agoYou're correct. I've lived in Germany and the UK where this sort of thing just doesn't exist and the sheer cost-of-doing-business in those countries obviates away this sort of stuff into "noise". One thing about the U.S. is this sort of liability also has a huge gamut depending almost entirely on which actual U.S. state the transaction is done. However, there's also likewise a huge gamut between what's technically actionable versus what's practicable with jurisprudence. Europe has an entirely different notion of "legal fees".
