Don't count on it.
Makes absolutely no difference in the UK, they could put whatever they want in the ToS even saying that you can't return a product even if it's faulty. Game recently did this with their used games, they have a sticker preventing you from opening the game with the clause that you can't return it if the seal is broken. On used games... So it was essentially a crap shoot whether or not you got a working game. I had a few PS2 games not work on me, I returned them, they didn't like it stating 'no sticker, no refund' I told them to shove it up their arse, quoted the sale of goods act and demanded to speak to the manager. I got my refund and walked out the shop. I don't buy games from that shop anymore...

Retailers don't have any powers against the customer in this country as long as we have the sale of goods act. As long as we comply with it, they can't do anything. Hence why we can get a partial refund on the PS3 since, under the sale of goods act it is classed as no longer fit for purpose.

The trick would be getting Him to sign it.

That would probably hold up in court.

Maybe if the darn things weren't so long. I'm a busy man, I don't have the time to scroll through 7 pages of legal mumbo jumbo.
Damn straight. It also pisses me off that everything has a fucking EULA. Does iTunes really need an EULA? If so, doesn't need to be that fucking long?

Does the EULA still have this:

This is in the EULA of more products than you might think. It is in Oracle's EULA, as well as Dell's (among others as well). I'm sure there's some law concerning this somewhere on the books in america (don't export things to terrorists)

Does Bush have anything to do with this?

Hahaha remember those anti-marijuana commercials from the early 2000s that said buying weed supports terrorism? I don't know if there was ever any truth to that but it just felt like 1930s propoganda all over again.

Didn't they tell you?! 64% of revenue from weed sales goes to Al Qaeda. 55% goes to Hamas.
