The Absolutely Best Click Wrap Agreement, Ever

I came across this when reading the registration page of a forum:

Forum Rules

1. Forum is a private, paid subscription forum. Before you proceed, read about the subscription and forum details here.

2. You can advertise in your sig and post affiliate links. We’re not d*cks about that. But make it topical . . . we know what spam is (in fact, we’re experts), so just be cool about it and we’ll get along just fine.

3. You may not republish anything you learn in this forum either in part or in full. The concepts and specifics discussed are to be kept private. Any leaks will be dealt with in the most severe manner available.

4. We may decide at any time that you suck and we don’t want you as a member any more. If this happens, your account will be suspended and you will no longer have access to anything here. Plus, you forfeit all subscription payments made. So don’t suck.

5. Your membership subscription is for you and you alone. If we find evidence of multiple people using an account, we will decide that you suck (see #4).

6. Some of the stuff on our forum is objectionable. Deal with it.

7. This forum is not for the discussion of breaking laws or engaging in criminal activity. We have enough sh*t to deal with without conspiring to commit any crimes. However, we don't know all the laws in every country; therefore posters own their own posts and are responsible for them.

8. The Owners are not responsible for anything – no matter what. If your sites gets banned, your businesses fails, you read something you don’t like, you get depression, you laugh out loud while drinking coffee and spit it out on your computer (thereby ruining it) or whatever else. . . then that’s your problem, not ours.

9. The owners reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread or change anything for any reason or no reason at all at any time we please.

10. Reread numbers 3, 4 and 8 – we f*cking mean it.

11. No refunds whatsoever after you log in and view posts or after a new subscription period starts.

If you actually agree to that sh*t and still want to join, then check the damn box and click the register button. Just don’t go sayin that we never warned you.

I've edited to protect the guilty and for decorum.

I'm guessing their legal department didn't get a say in that.

It's a bit refreshing to read people who say what they mean.

Find The Boots

An executive goes on a business trip. When he arrives, it's raining cats and dogs. To avoid ruining his shoes, he purchases a pair of galoshes for $15, which he expenses under "Misc." on his expense report. A week later, the accounting department rejects his expense report, with a post-it note that says that the company does not reimburse for items of clothing. The next trip, the executive turns in an expense report without the galoshes, but with a post-it note that says "FIND THE BOOTS!".
