When have you gone through terms and service recently you signed up for a web service no matter it’s a social network, email service, forum, blog etc.? Well I am sure that your answer would be no and am also sure that the percentage of this would above 90 means most of us really don’t think of reading any conditions before going ahead. The real reason for not reading or going through any terms and conditions or privacy policy is most of the time these are pretty lengthy written statements which is an absolute boring affair to go through. Another reason is apart for relevant points there are many information cluttered which may be irrelevant for us but the same makes the whole documentation more bulky.
