    So when my underage child opens this what’s the plan? Clearly theyre not old enough to enter into an “legally” binding agreement, right?

    “By opening AND using this product (…)”

    Have someone else open it for you, then consume the product yourself. Boom, no contract. Checkmate, lawyers!

      Lg tried it on refrigerators, even though refrigerators are not delivered in boxes.So the customer never receives them. The delayed or denied every warranty claim on their stupid 2 stage refrigerant pump, then said since the customer opened the box with the terms agreement that they couldn’t sue. It took more than a year to resolve just that there could be a class action lawsuit against LG.

        I had one of these fridges. The pumps even got an extended warranty since they failed so often. Mine died on year 6 of the 5 year standard MFG and it still got fixed for free because of the class action lawsuit.

        I learned about the lawsuit after the fact too.

          The good news is you can choose to save your unborn children the pain of existence on planet earth.

          Get a vasectomy. For them.

          The good news is that these things pass, buddy. All things pass, and it’s almost over really. This economy, this president, they won’t last forever. This country, this current set of land masses, this current set of planets. It’s all gonna just…pass. Gonna be just one drop in a lake of space and an ocean of time. Gonna be pressed into a microscopic crease in the fabric of a spacetime already contorted by titanic folds of incomprehensible number and arrangement. Until it can hardly be said to have happened at all.

    There should be an “protest buy” action to any the products that do this bullshit. A large group of people buy the products and then return them to the store for a refund. Especially for perishable goods, this would make them worthless. Which would make stocking such products a loss and force the vendors and manufacturers to cut the shit out.

      Be careful, if you do a “protest buy”, they may legally be able to not accept the return since you already knew about the contract. So you know, either don’t do it or at least don’t post on social media about it.

        This got me curious because I’ve never heard of this, atleast according to this study it does not cause liver issues if you use it properly, aka you exercise and don’t just drink it casually.

        “The results showed that when whey protein is used in an uninformed manner and without exercising, adverse effects on the liver may occur by increasing the apoptotic signal in the short term and increasing inflammatory markers and hepatotoxicity in the long term.” - link

          Yes, that’s the reason, not that it’s generally bad. I shouldve clarified.

          It’s way too easy to take too much. Most people just take their whole daily dose or more with those drinks and forgetting that they get protein from the regular food as well. Most people don’t even know how much protein their body is able to process in a day.

          Add too much magnesium to it and your blood tests will show how bad it is for you, and your doctor will get mad at you.

          We don’t need this unless youre doing Sport all day long.

    Isn’t that an illegally forced agreement? I mean, the consumer already bought the product and is forced to enter an agreement after the fact? At least it feels like it would be illegal.

    It’s the same with software, sure, but somehow I’ve been brainwashed into thinking it’s ok because it’s a digital product/I only agree to a license of said product.

      Yeah they really slipped up by saying “and” using it, as opposed to “or”.

      I’m going to gnaw into it like a little rat.

    Ah! that one of the worst parts of the internet, and they’ve figured out a way to make it real.

    At least they mention the arbitration upfront, I guess.
