Aye, it really just depends on the state that you live in. TOS?s aren?t worth the digital paper they are written on in states in California; that is with a good lawyer you could slice right through the TOS, it wouldn?t matter how well it was worded. In other states they are harder to get around. I guess it just depends on where you live. Most TOS's are pretty clear in what they are providing... it's not like I can just throw up a TOS and have in there things that simply aren?t true. Like say you are offering a service, then in the TOS state ?we are not required to provide this service, even though we charge for it.? (those are the kinds of court cases you hear about frequently with TOS?s being so easily shot down).
