Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.
It doesn’t matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.
I just got that on my Roku device and clicked through it without even realizing because it was the exact type of pop-up and position and timing as when it informs me that the micro SD card has successfully mounted, and it took my brain a second to register that 1) the pop-up was much larger, and 2) I briefly saw a word that looked like “arbitration”
How can this be a legally enforceable contract?! Especially considering if I didn’t agree, my device that I’ve already paid for and have been using would cease functioning and they sure as hell aren’t going to refund my purchase from years ago if I refuse
I’d like to think it can’t be but it’s the US so who knows.
Changing the terms after buying the device and in a way that your kid could accept them by hitting ok on the remote is bonkers.
They have more money to spend on lawyers is how.
I hate that this is so true
They can’t prove you read it, maybe your child pressed accept. This is not legally binding in Europe
This is called a Deceptive Pattern (or dark pattern). This feature worked exactly as intended in your case.
It doesn’t matter if it is legal or enforceable. Who’s going to stop them?
In USA, EULA are god. You have no rights other than right to give them money.
