Re: boo...
The problem is "sole discretion" clauses which permit them to further avoid contracts by defining up to mean down, left to mean right, and applying those definitions in one case only.
Imagine entering a contract where you promised to give all your labor and property to an individual where the person you were contracting with had the sole discretion to decide what terms of the contract would mean. Oh, that term $100,000 I promised to pay you doesn't refer to "dollars, it refers to pesos," but that clause five lines down which says you will pay me $50,000, that means "dollars." These contracts are heads they win, tails they lose. I particularly love the part about how they can change the terms and you can't leave. The rules of contract interpretation just don't seem to apply.
You know those arbitration clauses on the bottom of these contacts that we sign. I bet you that they even deny the aribitrator the right to revisit their interpretation of the meanings of these terms. | |

said by en102  :Agreed. Since VZW's TOS states that connecting to corporate Intranets are OK, I wonder if I set up VPN to my home (or work), and used the connection that way for VoIP/video, etc. Verizon wont care if its a vpn. They can't sniff ur connection to see what the traffic is (well VZ Accounts Investigation can't, nothing stops them from reworking the system). They use a mbyte cap or top 5% usage to identify users to target. I dont think a vpn will matter. I guess u can try doing it then arguing and see what happens. | |
