Tam, I'm not using the dialer as an exemple, altough the dialer itself is software. (So UCITA would apply to dialers contracts)


Usually, no one forces bindind contracts at you when you enter computers stores or when you try to leave that store, or if you even try to pick up something at that store. They don't take the item you are trying to reach away from you and send you another binding contract for you to sign instead. They can't package and advertise their products as being one thing and then turn around and send you a binding contract for something else instead. Everyone would find these practices very objectable.


I never seen a dialer advertised for what it is: A peice of sotware that will connect you to a phone number at 3-7$ a minute. If i'm mistaking, please point me to that place.


With a law like UCITA, everything in the contract/liscense would bind you, no matter what advertised. See our friend who was told he would get bugfree software and got really crappy one. Thank to the waiver in the liscence! The company was immuned! I can already see these (curently non-enforsable) disclaimers in the dialer liscenses.
