Musk's Tesla modified contracts with customers -- without the customers' permission -- long after they were signed.

@dangillmor
... same way Brit gov't changing student loan payback rules ...

[martinhowitt@urbanists.social]

@dangillmor surely it invalidates the contract (I’m not a lawyer but can’t see how that would stick in an actual case)

But Tesla's diesel is clean.

@dangillmor I don't know why any court accepts this "online signed with your mouse" bullshit.

[eingemaischt@chaos.social]

@martinhowitt @dangillmor this would only be an advantage if the customer has a leasing contract.

@dangillmor at least they are getting "not found" and not the Book of Enoch

@dangillmor wouldn’t buy any of these SwastiCars if it was the only carproducer on the planet.

[tknarr@mstdn.social]

@dangillmor Same way all the tech companies do, of course: having a clause in the original contract allowing them to unilaterally change it.

@eingemaischt @dangillmor
Legal documents from multiple people used to take a few days to obtain separate signatures. FedEX Overnight, etc. Not all on the same document. Now I’m just asked to click. Not even sending a pdf.

[eingemaischt@chaos.social]

@stevewfolds @dangillmor electronic signatures exist, even timestamp services which allow to make documents uneditable...

@dangillmor if the US wasn't incredibly corrupt this company would be sold off for parts in the near future

[elexia@catcatnya.com]

@dangillmor also several people would be going to prison

[rhymerepartee@mastodon.social]

@dangillmor

Hate to tell you this, but most contracts signed with a click to agree have clauses that allow the issuer to change terms at anytime. Banks do this all day long.

[curiously@mastodon.au]

@dangillmor arrogant, criminal behaviour. Contracts require a meeting of the minds (a common understanding of what is being agreed) how could that be possible with the terms changed without your knowledge or agreement. What was sold for $15,000?

[olle_gladso@mastodon.social]

@dangillmor Contract fraud. Clear and simple.

[bluedot@left-bank.net]

@dangillmor

It's bizarre to me that someone has to "access" the contract online. Instead of, you know, printing it out on paper and filing it somewhere safe.

[nmba@mstdn.ca]

@dangillmor
Same as russia also revising contracts so Wildberries is not liable for lost stock. Contracts and constitutions and toilet paper.

@tknarr

Nah, that's illegal in every aspect.

@dangillmor

[tknarr@mstdn.social]

@aerofreak @dangillmor Can you cite a statute saying that?
