Website Terms and Conditions
Do you always read “Terms and conditions”before joining a website or do you just tick the box knowing you can’t signup anyway if you don’t agree?
I usually take a quick scan through Terms & Conditions before 'ticking the box' to ensure that I am not agreeing to have my details added to a database that could be shared with any other 3rd Party for the purposes of marketing etc.
Another reason I look through Terms & Conditions is that if I share Photographs/Articles on the website, I want to ensure that I am not giving away my exclusive right to use these materials elsewhere.
I do feel that some websites owners abuse their position by not letting you join unless you do agree to ALL their T&C's but such is life...
I almost always skim them. It is especially important, though, if you are joining any affiliate networks to understand what is and is not allowed. Some don't allow posting links on sites you don't own, so that would include HubPages.
