Would you give up your eldest for free WiFi ?

I've managed to convince myself it's actually a great deal.

[I just need to test it]

In fact it's such a good deal my daughter (who lives in the same house) has blown 79 quid on it too. Darn it.

It's cheaper than the alternative solution of her using your account.

I've tried to convince MrsDude of that - but she's not having it.

A premise of contract law is that (even if both parties agreed) it can’t break the law & I do believe child slavery is a bit naughty.

As for terms within a contract that go against the premise of the contract: if both parties agree its fine.

That's a premise of UK contract law, if that applies in other countries is entirely a different matter.

I believe that US law tends to work far more to the letter of the contract than may be considered sensible in the UK.

Reading small print when there's a raft of it and it's not really accessible (like on a small mobile screen) is a challenge at best, in truth I doubt more than 1 person in 50 would actually bother to skim read it and unlikely more than 1 in a thousand would read any EULA type doc to a detailed level.

Plus contract terms are not legally binding if they're plain illegal, as for example giving away your first born.

Is it actually illegal to give away your first born?

I could think of a few parents who wouldn't mind, cost of education and all that...

The usual rate of 1 pound equals 1 dollar?:

Amazon (AMZN) announced the annual membership will now cost $99 a year, up from $79. A student membership will cost $49 annually.

Not reading web T&Cs does have real risks. And I say that as a reluctant member of Amazon Prime for another 51 weeks.

So how did Amazon Prime stitch you up?
