People Share The Sneakiest Terms And Conditions They've Ever Seen In A Contract

Make us preferred on Google

Let's be real- have any of you ACTUALLY read the terms and conditions that come with a contract? It's pretty important to read before you sign, but it's just like, a lot of words. You know what I mean.

But this can come back and bite you in the butt, and that's when you realize exactly what you've agreed to. Here are a few stories of sneaky terms and conditions that went unnoticed.

What are some sneaky "terms and conditions" that people commonly unknowingly accept?

So wholesome.

In Germany we have a large online shop that sells mostly fandom stuff (for Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc). In their Terms and Conditions you agree to be a good person, hold the door open for others, etc.

That's evil. I am not holding door for anybody.

Good to know.

Your gps shuts down at speeds above 500km (or something similar).

This way it can't be used to guide a missile/nuke.

Is that how it works?

"Terms and conditions may change without notice to you"

I used to make and sell beats online, I saw that on a few websites.

This is a very lawyer way of saying "I'll repost your meme".

That doesn't seem fair.

Cemeteries can have sneaky "terms and conditions."

One cemetery's fine print tells plot-holders that they and their descendants can be charged a "special assessment" for landscaping and paving/drainage repairs required by the cemetery.

This special assessment possibility remains an obligation for plot-holders until all graves in individual plots have been used.

That's one reason to not have kids.

I remember agreeing to one where the person who made the terms and conditions would be betrothed to my second daughter. Luckily I have no children lmao.

Be a shame if you had only boys.

That doesn't seem fair.

Many T&Cs have a clause that says they're allowed to change it without notice and you'll still be bound by any future versions of those T&Cs. Normally followed by an acknowledgement that we'll try and tell you if we're changing it but at the end of the day it's your responsibility to check back.

But if a tyrant CEO came to power in almost any company you could already have signed to... literally anything.

Well that's just great.

That you don't actually own the operating system in your iPhone or any other apple product, you are leasing it and it's contents from Apple. In other words, Apple can legally turn your phone into a paperweight if they choose to do so and you can't so a thing about it.

This is also true for the computers that run a large portion of cars and a whole slew of other products.

That could be a big problem.

That a landlord's "emergency" to enter a premise can be pretty loosely defined and should be EXTREMELY defined before lease is signed otherwise your house reeks of pot and your landlord thinks there's a fire.

blueisadog666

Smart.

Bethesda has the right to infect your computer with a virus if you hack any of their games.

Fair enough.

SKIMS Issues Refunds For Advent Calendars After Outraged Customers Compare Them To Fyre Fest

There's no denying that Kim Kardashian and her SKIMS brand are popular, but like her undergarment line that included faux pubic hair, she's certainly had some misses along the way.

The latest in the line of SKIMS offenses was none other than the clothing brand's Christmas advent calendar, complete with 12 days of Christmas trinkets and priced at just under $150. Many SKIMS enthusiasts hurriedly ordered theirs for fear of the brand selling out, and some excited customers could not wait until Christmas season to open them.

A resurfaced video of Erika Kirk talking about how her late husband Charlie Kirk's brand of hot sauce reminded her of him has social media users raising their eyebrows.

The late Kirk, who was assassinated at a Utah campus event in September 2025, was a virulent white supremacist who aligned with the Christian right and advocated for Christian nationalism, promoting a nativist, fundamentalist Christian view of society. He openly attacked LGBTQ+ rights, backed the white genocide conspiracy theory, and was a major figure in the MAGA movement.

JoJo Siwa Sparks 'Trad Wife' Comparisons After Debuting Her Conservative New Look

JoJo Siwa has been in the spotlight for most of her life, thanks initially to her partnership with her mother on Dance Moms, through which she became well-known for her cute and bubbly personality, constant smile, and of course, her bright blonde, slicked back, high ponytail.

It was only years later when her mother bragged about all of the "sacrifices" she made to be successful on Dance Moms that people discovered JoJo Siwa was not a blonde at all. She had naturally light brown hair, which she described as "brown woots" when she was little, and her mom started to bleach it blonde when JoJo was just 2 years old.
