Do you read User Agreements?

by Alex Frei

We all know that every serious service(PayPal, Clickbank, Alertpay etc.) has it's own User Agreement.
When you register, you have to tick the box "I have read the User Agreement and I like it".

I wonder, how many of us actually do it?

    I have account in both PayPal and Alertpay. When I registered there I had read the agreement.

      i don't really read it because it is too long. I should change my mind about this in the future.

      If it is serious, I read it and I suggest you do as well. I've read user agreements and all the other legal pages on the following sites up to now:

      Google AdSense,
      Google AdWords,
      PayPal,
      Clickbank
      e-Junkie
      MaxBounty
      CJ
      Hostgator
      Namecheap
      and a few others.

      If money or personally identifiable information is involved, take it serious.

    Always.

    I read them thoroughly.

    Unfortunately, I'm convinced that most people don't, and are later 'surprised' by terms or conditions that they say didn't 'know' existed.

    Every time i register to any site... i see to it that before everything is complete, i read first the agreement. I am very aware of every rule and agreement to avoid trouble.

      Online or offline, if I'm legally agreeing to something, I read it. Period.

      I've driven more salepeople crazy by sitting in an office and reading contracts before signing. The more often they say "it's just a standard agreement", the closer I read.

      Remember, the large print giveth and the small print taketh away...

    I tend to only read the user agreement when I feel it can have a negative effect on me if I don't. Anything that isn't money related I tend to not worry about. By not reading a user agreement I realize that my account could eventually be closed without me ever knowing why.
