strange thing to have in terms and conditions
ok i was reading the bt broadband terms and conditions and all was fine until i got to point number 34 - the link is here - does anyone else think this is a strange thing to put in terms and conditions?

Re: strange thing to have in terms and conditions
That's nice of them.
Of course, they appear to be just restating the law anyway. I'm pretty sure if BT killed me via negligence they'd face prosecution irrespective of the T&C's.

Exactly, and even if they wrote the opposite it would be void due to the unfair contracts act. It is slightly worrying that they did include it though, as it is quite pointless really, almost makes you wander if they know something about their service we don't know.

i'd be most impressed if ADSL could kill or injure you.

It also mentions injury, and blindness is certainly an injury.

LOL, makes you wonder how stupid humanity can really be. I have come across some pretty weird warnings/labels/directions.
