Do you read terms of use?

AuTriker

So I thought I'd like to purchase a course on a site which has craft courses, ones you just watch online. And it says you have to read the terms of use and they are very long and boring! I assume that most NTs just say they have read these, but I at least feel obliged to skim read them.

Sometimes it puts me off buying it! I tried once before when it was on sale and got fed up and didn't bother, but I really would like the course and it is on sale again so I tried again. I just wondered if this is just me or if it is an autism thing! It strikes me as somewhat autistic to feel I have to read it all.

    Indeed. Let's not make assumptions based on gender. 

    In fact, I don't believe any NTs of any gender would have the patience to read through such things as long terms and conditions. They are not written to be read, in fact they are probably designed to be extra hard to read so that people agree to things without thought.  It's mostly to protect the company's interests so that they can say, "ah, but you clicked to agree to let us do xyz and waived your right to complain about it.
