Apple Forced To Clean Up Its Fine Print

Posted by Soulskill on from the by-reading-this-you-bequeath-me-all-your-possessions dept.

Barence writes "Apple has been forced to tidy up its online terms and conditions, at the behest of the UK's Office of Fair Trading. The company has redrafted its Ts & Cs so that it now accepts liability for faulty or misdescribed goods sold from its website or the iTunes store. Apple must also ensure that its conditions are 'drafted in plain or intelligible language' and that they 'do not potentially allow changes to be made to products and prices after an agreement is made.'"

    Did’t you know that since the 14th, the head of all Slashdot editors will explode, if they don’t release at least one Apple article on average?

    Seriously! Check for yourself:

    My guess is that it’s some “better bad news than no news” viral advertisement deal.
