Redditors who always read the Terms and Conditions in their entirety, what's a shady thing you've caught a business try to slip past its customers?

1. Like a decade ago in the Sprint store there was some random extra $5 monthly fee. I asked the guy "What is this?" His response was "That's something I'm only supposed to take off if you see it and ask about it. I'll take it off"

2. Actually just happened today. I was at a dentist office, and they gave me a form to sign that indicating I read and agreed with their privacy practices. In the form it read: "I agree to everything on this form and accompanying notice of privacy practice." But there was no other form. I asked the front desk worker and she couldn't even find a pdf. I didn't sign it.

3. PetSmart recently updated its terms and conditions for doggy day care. One of the terms was that if my dog died in their care, they bore no liability for it regardless of the cause.

4. MySpace may have gone the way of the Dodo bird, but it was a pretty big proto-Facebook back in it's day. When News Corp. purchased MySpace back in '05 they changed the terms of service. The new ToS stated that uploading content onto the platform gave New Corp. permission to use said content. So if you had a band with a MySpace page back in the day you might find one of your songs used on a Fox News broadcast.

5. Just an FYI to everyone - there is a website called [Terms of Service; Didn't Read](https://tosdr.org/) that does a tl;dr of Terms of Services which is good.

6. Every maker of every product tries to exempt their warrantied product from the [Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson%E2%80%93Moss_Warranty_Act): For example: Warranty is only valid if HP brand toner is used. Warranty is only valid if Duracell batteries are used. Warranty is only valid if Ford brake pads are used etc...

7. A company called gamestation legally owns customers souls. It was all a bit of a laugh to see how many people actually read the t&c's https://www.bit-tech.net/news/gaming/pc/gamestation-we-own-your-soul/1/

8. A tiny checkbox on my garage's repair bill, which allowed me to opt-out of them selling my cell phone number to spammers. It was *really* tiny. But I checked it.

9. CVS Pharmacy... they started a "rewards" program where you could earn as much as a whopping $50 cash back... PER YEAR!!! WOW!!! And all you have to do is sign up for the program... ... ... and in doing so you waive your HIPA rights (Health Information Protection Act) which allows them to take all the medical information you provide them about yourself and sell it, trade it with their friends, lend it to Mark Zuckerberg and Cambridge Analytica... look close, its is VERY VERY VERY small print...

11. We have built multiple houses over the past 10 years, our first builder had a clause stating once you made final payment on the house, it ment you where 100% happy and had no come back to have things fixed. Kicker was you had to pay your final payment before they did the final walk through of the house ( where you pick up things you want fixed or are not happy with ) Lets just say we ended up in court - but won

12. Some friends of mine were extras in a movie in college. Apparently their contracts gave the studio permission to: >Use the undersigned’s likeness throughout the universe until the end of time. ... or something to that effect.

13. My dad does this and it can turn a 5 minute thing into a 2 hour thing. He does it not because he wants to but because it's dishonest to say you agree and read to the terms if you haven't
