How did I miss THIS???
so others can provide goods or services to us, or to you on our behalf;
And since President Clinton signed The Electronic Commerce bill, merely saying "yes" or "I agree" has the legal weight of a signature:
THIS AGREEMENT STARTS WHEN YOU ACCEPT.
Paragraphs marked "∞ " continue after it ends. You accept when you do any of the following things after an opportunity to review this agreement:
* Give us a written or electronic signature;
* Tell us orally or electronically that you accept;
* Activate your service through your wireless phone;
* Open a package that says you are accepting by opening it; or
* Use your service after making any change or addition when we've told you that the change or addition requires acceptance.
So when you sign up for a phone at a mall kiosk and either sign something or say Yup when they say "do you agree to our terms.... you get stuff like what I posted above.
Read contracts before you agree to them, and you avoid agreeing to have your cell carrier send the serial number to the traffic cops without sending personal or confidential information.
