7,500 shoppers unknowingly sold their souls
« on: May 04, 2010, 05:43:56 pm »
Thousands of shoppers unknowingly signed their souls over to a computer-game store after failing to read the terms and conditions on their website.

GameStation added the “immortal soul clause” to online purchases earlier this month stating customers granted them the right to claim their soul.

While all shoppers during the test were given a simple tick box option to opt out, very few did this, which would have also rewarded them with a £5 voucher.

The store claims this show 88 percent of people do not read the terms and conditions of a website before they make a purchase.

Bosses also say they will not be enforcing their rights and will now email customers nullifying any claim on their soul.

This was known about a week ago and you only *just* found out about this?!??

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
