LG will say that by opening the box they agreed to the terms, Microsoft started that one.
That's not proof.
What if the delivery company opened it? What if the consumer didn't see it?
Prove the consumer read it. LG has no signed document, nothing, proving the consumer read and agreed to this.
A software license is different - when installing you click on a button saying "I agree".
Last night the TV I’ve had for three years stopped working until I agreed to their terms of service, including their personal data sales. There was no opportunity to disagree, nor anything I could do with the TV until I did. You could prove I read it, but it’s ridiculous to claim I agreed to it before buying it or that I had any leverage for fair treatment.
I suppose I shouldn’t have had my TV on the network but it has an Apple TV app and my Firestick doesn’t
@AA5B @BearOfaTime what brand, may I ask
Vizio. It wouldn’t even let me use the built in airplay or Chromecast until I agreed to sell my soul.
The only thing that worked was HDMI inputs
