Terms of Use

What, you were expecting lawyer-speak? This is a personal website. There really are no terms of use. You came here on your terms and you can leave on your terms.

If you are somehow offended by this site’s stark minimalism, feel free to leave. If having a funny-to-me Terms of Use page is in bad-taste, leave and don’t come back.

If you haven’t noticed, I think Terms of Use in general are idiotic. They are the result of an overly litigious society where some dumbass will sue some person or entity because something bad happened to them because they are indeed a dumbass. I once spent the worst three months of my life building HTML emails that had Terms and Conditions at least twice as long as the content. I believe if the Terms are more involved than the content, it's a bad idea.

To tell the truth, I never even read the Terms. Sure, sometimes I start to read them; thinking "I better see what I'm getting myself into", but I can never make it all the way through. The only thing I know for sure, is that they inevitably include some text in all caps. I think that might be the important part. I'm not sure though, because I never read them. That would be because entire paragraphs in all caps are very hard to read.

See what I mean? This entire paragraph is in all caps and I bet you've already stopped reading. That is, if you even made it this far into these joke Terms of Use. If you are reading this, please accept my apologies, there is no real point to this.

If you want to see what I mean about ridiculous Terms, go check the Terms pages of some of the services you probably use every day. Here is a list: Facebook, Google, Twitter and Apple.

If you came here looking for real Terms of Use for bencmeissner.com, you finally found it. I reserve the right to change any content on this site whenever I please. After all, it is my site.

If you would like to use any content I have made available on this site, please ask first - it's the nice thing to do.
