Did your Roku TV decide to strong arm you into giving up your rights or lose your FULLY FUNCTIONING WORKING TV? Because mine did.

It doesn’t matter if you only use it as a dumb panel for an Apple TV, Fire stick, or just to play your gaming console. You either agree or get bent.

    These are fun, Australians can’t waive any of their rights, including consumer rights and rights to access the courts.

      Also, it’s illegal in Australia for a business to make “false or misleading representations” about those rights. Maximum penalty is 10% of annual revenue.

      The contract isn’t just unenforceable, it’s just straight up illegal.

        Wait, does that mean we could actually see some companies get punished for making improper terms and conditions?

        I would really like to see companies get strongly punished for EULAs/etc that turn out to be illegal/improper.
