My issue is the first line of your comment, that it's not realistic for the average user to read and or understand the TOS. You should not use the product if you have not done this. Period. And if you choose to not read and understand, then there is no more discussion to be had... Makes sense?
This is the Playstation TOS.
This is the definition of buy.
Expecting a normal person to read this entire document and realize that they changed the definition of buy about 3/4s of the way down from the dictionary definition is completely unreasonable. Read the entire TOS and list all the gotchas, without knowing which ones they are going to pull, then tell me what makes sense.
But you're proving my point, it's in the TOS... As I've mentioned in other relies, yes the wording should be changed, but it is there... Reasonable or not it's s in the fine print.
If you do not agree to those fine prints, do not agree to the TOS. You clicked or accepted somewhere at some point, so you do/did agree to this. If you do/did not, why did you accept the TOS in the first place?
I'm trying to drill home that just because you think it's shady, I do too, does not mean you did not agree to it in the first place.
Do not click accept if you do not accept a TOS.
