I can understand that some activities or services are inherently risky and you shouldn’t be allowed to sue when you’re made aware of the risks - for example, suing a climbing gear company because it breaks when you don’t know how to use it and you become paralyzed.
But no sane world should allow someone to be exempt from accountability after they OPENLY acknowledge that they might be negligent, and that negligence may cause your death, just because you sign a piece of paper
I don’t know how solid a contract would have to be to protect against negligence especially if it is in some excess of standard practice. For a lot of stuff there are liability waivers but even those aren’t bulletproof
This feels like a scenario where the probably right wing judge would want to side with the corporation but their argument is so insulting he's forced to do the right thing. ALAB episode is gonna be a banger.
Isn't there some law about how terms and conditions don't actually matter? I remember reading somewhere that anything out of ordinary stuff in a contract isn't considered valid, because we can't expect laypeople to read pages and pages of legalistic mumbo jumbo, especially not when they would have to do it so often for all the products we all have to have (near every time something updates, you get new ToS)
They know it's brazen but it works often enough that they do it anyway, especially versus the average person with no lawyer money. Bummer for them that they murdered a doctor lol
When reached out for comment the woman could not be found as she has been taken, under the ToS, to be part of the Live Action Cast as part of the Disney Bio Imagineer customer experience program.
