Just imagine how different the world would be if this wasn't allowed and any time a ToS was pushed out like this the user had the option to offer a counter ToS and the company must have a human look it over and agree/disagree within a set period of time.

You know, Kind of like a real contract.





> the option to offer a counter ToS and the company must have a human look it over and agree/disagree within a set period of time.

You technically do have this option. You can send your own terms to a company’s legal team.

The answer will always be no. A law enforcing them to respond in a certain period of time won’t change that. Always no.

It is never cost effective to have lawyers review individual contracts for relatively cheap devices.


Then there is something wrong with our legal system if only one portion of the population seems to be able to avail themselves of contracts. Seems like a failure of the entire legal apparatus. No more ToS.
