Londoners agree to give child away in return for free WiFi

The headline will have grabbed your attention. Pity the fine print was not as widely read by the unfortunate souls who signed the online agreement.

How often have you been asked to sign an online agreement before downloading content or subscribing to a service?

I suggest that you never sign anything until you have read it and understood it.

Fortunately there is a happy ending, this was not a genuine contract, but a survey to see if anyone would sign the contract and in any case our legal friends advise us that the contract could not be enforced under UK law.

You can read the whole story at the link below.
