Comment on Software company buried a $1K prize in its ToS

Comments

“A special consideration which may include financial compensation will be awarded to a limited number of authorize licensee to read this section of the license agreement and contact PC Pitstop at consideration@pcpitstop.com. This offer can be withdrawn at any time.”

To me, that doesn't scream “no strings attached $1000 prize”. Even if I read the TOS and came across this section, I wouldn't have emailed them. I would've assumed they wanted to send me spam.

It was probably a no string attached prize until their lawyers looked over it.

If your reading the terms of service they already have your email.

I thought you had to read them before actually registering, not after.

Absolutely correct. It would defeat the purpose to only be able to view it after registering.
