Hello, first post since the new system was made. I like it!
I am just talking about general aspects of the law, and am not giving anyone, anywhere, any kind of legal advice.
I started writing about what I thought was going on here, but then I found the complaint, and there is actually way too much to get into in a forum post (and everyone would just TL;DR it anyways)
but, a couple of quick things:
-
Purposeful ignorance:
This is not considered one of the defenses to contract formation. One is normally considered to have a “Duty to read” documents before they sign them. -
Contract of Adhesion:
This is a contract that one is asked to sign, but is unable to negotiate any of the terms. It can, in some instances go to making an unconscionability argument, although modernly, it seems like basically every contract is one of adhesion (try scratching terms off of the contract when you buy a car. I did it a couple of years ago, and it did not go over well…) I don’t know that this argument would get you all that far here really.
Anywho, interesting issue.
