Terms and Conditions Skimmed Over, Accepted

KOKOMO - For the 10 billionth time since the advent of the website disclaimer, a set of terms and conditions were today lightly skimmed over and roundly accepted without so much as a moment's thought as to their contents.

Girl about to get educated.
Signing up to services provided by horoscopecraziness.com, Kokomo resident and grade 12 high school student Andrea Allthorpe impatiently clicked the 'I Agree' button without actually reading section 2.1.4, which clearly states that "by accepting the aforementioned terms and conditions, the member permits this website to send bi-monthly premium text messages to said member's mobile phone."

"It's such a cool website," smiled the naive 17-year-old, reading the week's entry for Scorpios. "Apparently events in my life are going take a curious turn this week, as Saturn aligns with Venus and an epic decision presents itself."

What the horoscope failed to predict was that a charge of $9.99 is imminently set to appear on her parents' family share plan statement, resulting in the youngster being banned from using her iPhone 4S for two months.

"I can't wait for next week's horoscope," she continued with a heartbreaking level of excitement. "Perhaps I'm about to come into some money or something!"

Utterly unaware of the irreparable damage she had just done to her parent's finances, Miss Allthorpe proceeded to unwittingly compound the situation further by navigating to freecoolringtones.com.
