Companies sometimes update their terms of use to include a compromise clause. For example, in 2011, Sony`s PlayStation Network suffered a prolonged outage after suffering a severe data outage that revealed more than 70 million user information. Because of the prejudice, a class action was organized against Sony. Subsequently, Sony updated its terms of use to prevent people from pursuing the business again. But a farce, so unique in its wickedness, stands out. The sneaky farce, pulled by GameStation, an online gaming store, led to the voluntary handover of 7,500 souls. In section 57.10 of Amazon`s AWS agreement, people who use Amazon`s ”Lumberyard” game development engine promise not to use it to operate systems that could endanger a person`s life. B such as aircraft or autonomous vehicles. So far, so good. Amazon says the section does not apply, however, if the U.S. Centers for Disease Control certifies the existence of a ”generalized viral infection transmitted by bites or contact with bodily fluids that reanimate human bodies and attempt to consume living human flesh, blood, brain or nerve tissue and is likely to lead to organized civilization.” As you can imagine, this does not bode well for the user.

The company will almost certainly have a team of lawyers while you are alone. Arbitration is also quite expensive, which means that most people probably don`t bother suing it anyway. A few years earlier, several Londoners (probably unintentionally) agreed to give their eldest child in exchange for Wi-Fi. Before they could access the Internet, users had to click on a box in which they agreed to ”assign us their firstborn for the duration of eternity.” According to the Guardian, six people have registered, but the company that supplies Wi-Fi has said the clause would probably not be applicable in court. ”It is against public policy to sell children for free services,” the company said. So who knows what happened to the souls of these customers? Will they forever float in the ether until they are saved? Will they appear in a future Michael Jackson Compilation video? Or will a brilliant and spiritual spark at Goldman Sachs invent a new financial instrument: the Soul Default Swap? I first sold my soul to a girl with a very large void in her teeth. It took me years to get it back. (Yes, souls are recoverable.) But then I met a former trapeze artist from a Hungarian circus. The rest, as they say, is misery. PC Pitstop, a computer maintenance tool, may have created one of the funniest chords of all time.

In 2005, the company added the following ”special reflection” clause to its EULA: while all buyers were given a simple tic-box option to unsubscribe during the test, very few people did so, which, according to news: lite, would also have been rewarded with a $5 voucher. Because of the number of people who have checked the box, GameStation estimates that 88 percent of people don`t read the terms of a website before making a purchase. The company found that it would not impose property rights and planned to cancel customers by email in order to challenge any rights to their souls. In April 2010, the British retailer GameStation added a new clause to its licensing agreement, with a checkbox already. When users didn`t come out of the box, they agreed to give GameStation ”a non-transferable option to claim for now and for more and more your immortal soul.” GameStation said that if it decided to perform soul transfer, it would serve in six-foot-tall fire letters.
