Blackberry board of directors must consist of lawyers
13 years ago
Upon getting a Blackberry Playbook free for following this special offer involving porting an app to the Playbook OS 2.0, I unfortunately received a unit that had a dead USB port. Due to this, I've found that Blackberry is like SUPER legal. Here's a run down of legal related things they've asked of me:
- Send a copy of my personal ID or business document (tax ID or registration document or some such) upon trying to register as a developer (joke's on them I never sent it lolol)
- Agree to TOS stuff to be a developer (completely normal)
- Agree to TOS when starting up the device (sorta normal. Not seen it much for devices, but installing software or first runs of software)
- Agree to a SEPARATE TOS for receiving support for the broken device (ok guess that's like registering it?)
- Agree to ANOTHER TOS when I'm about to RMA it (ok what the fuck guys?)
- Receive a TOS type sheet in the packaging they sent me to return my device (...)
- Receive a document that MUST be included as part of the package stating that lithium ion batteries are considered non-hazardous materials (ok what the fuck guys?)
So yeah what the fuck Blackberry? I know you're mostly corporate but GOD DAMN!
