By purchasing the i-opener you are agreeing to use the
i-opener Internet
service. The fee is $21.95 a month and will be billed to your credit card
approximately 2 days after the i-opener is shipped to you.
And then $21.95 every month for the rest of your life? I seriously doubt
that such an open-ended contract is enforceable anywhere.
i-opener Internet appliances shipped after March 20,
2000 can no longer be
reconfigured in the manner described in recent reports. Modification of the
i-opener in any way is in violation of our terms and conditions.
What terms and conditions? If you aren't allowed to see them (I poked
around a little bit and didn't find them) how can they be part of the
sales contract?
Wasn't it a Steve Martin movie that illustrated the "Substantial
Penalty for Early Withdrawal" clause? IIRC the depositor was given
a blindfold and shot...
