Funny terms and conditions Created 17 years ago2007-01-13 23:04:13 UTC by hlife_hotdog

I am reading through the terms and conditions of Google's Gmail service and I get to here. I can't help chuckling 'cause they think of every excuse why it might not work. Here's what it said:

Without limiting the foregoing, under no circumstances shall Google or its licensors be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from acts of nature, forces, or causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, Internet failures, computer equipment failures, telecommunication equipment failures, other equipment failures, electrical power failures, strikes, labor disputes, riots, insurrections, civil disturbances, shortages of labor or materials, fires, floods, storms, explosions , acts of God, war, governmental actions, orders of domestic or foreign courts or tribunals, non-performance of third parties, or loss of or fluctuations in heat, light, or air conditioning. (In other words, they won't work in the office if the air conditioner isn't working mind you, I wouldn't either, TO THE BEACH!!!)

Acts of God, hehehe.

They forgot to add "stupidity" to the list.

acts of god is a standard force majure clause, its a stupid one though

hilarious but you seem to have a wee bit to much time ^^

Warning label on a fold down seat in my dad's minivan:

"Do not attempt to fold seat while it is occupied with foreign objects or people."

Warning label on a outboard motor:

"Do not use open flames or a torch to check fuel level."

Warning label on a washing machine:

"Never run washing machine when someone is inside."

Peanuts: Warning, may contain nuts.

Bottom of Schwans Pie: Warning, do not turn upside down.

It just indemnifies them from being responsibile for loss of service caused by events they have no control of. I've seen similar elsewhere on other services; it's a fairly common piece of text I'd think.

My deodorant (Adidas):

Do not use for intimate hygiene use.

why dont guns come with health warnings, e.g. May cause death

only in americas super-litigious society could it be ok to have a product thats only purpose is killing something else with

Agreed with Rabid.

But.. Hahah.. Act of god... Aw man.. chuckles

They should put health warnings on McDonald's food, though.. As big as the ones on ciggie packs.

Dave932932, that's quite odd. Mine says:

"Do not attempt to fold seat while it is occupied with foreign people or objects."

Mine says "Do not fold foreign people or objects, you racist".

Haha, act of God.
