In article <70649@microsoft.UUCP> fredf@microsoft.UUCP (Fred FREELAND) writes: >It's not the act of reading that makes it enforceable, it's the opening of >the envelope. The agreement says: > >"If you do not agree to the terms of this agreement, promptly return the >unopened disk package and the accompanying items (including written material >and binders or other containers) to the place you obtained them for a full >refund." > >If both parties do not agree with the terms, then there is no agreement and >the transaction, i.e., the purchase, must be undone. I think we have a circular argument here. If I hold the agreement to be invalid, why would/should I hold this particular clause to be valid? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Dodson dodson@convex.COM Convex Computer Corporation Richardson, Texas (214) 497-4234
