The company, Manchester-based Purple, said it inserted the clause in its agreement "to illustrate the lack of consumer awareness of what they are signing up to when they access free wifi."Ī few years earlier, several Londoners agreed (presumably inadvertently) to give away their oldest child in exchange for Wi-Fi access. In 2017, 22,000 people who signed up for free public Wi-Fi inadvertently agreed to 1,000 hours of community service - including cleaning toilets and "relieving sewer blockages," the Guardian reported. The mischievous clauses tend to pop up from time to time, usually in cheeky England. To demonstrate the importance of reading the fine print, many companies don't give they take. "We created the top-secret Pays to Read campaign in an effort to highlight the importance of reading policy documentation from start to finish." "We understand most customers don't actually read contracts or documentation when buying something, but we know the importance of doing so," the company said. Squaremouth, a Florida insurance company, had inserted language promising a reward to the first person who emailed the company. Georgia high school teacher Donelan Andrews won a $10,000 reward after she closely read the terms and conditions that came with a travel insurance policy she purchased for a trip to England. Others have found themselves on the losing end of a contract they didn't bother to read. But one woman who didn't earned herself $10,000.
