UK, April 16, 2010: The license agreement in the products of British video game maker GameStation was a little unorthodox on April 1st, Fools’ Day, and caught the attention of some religious groups. But they only noticed after the company itself called people’s attention to the agreement’s most interesting lines.
People who ordered through their website were asked to agree that “by placing an order via this web site on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you agree to grant us a nontransferable option to claim, for now and for evermore, your immortal soul. Should we wish to exercise this option, you agree to surrender your immortal soul, and any claim you may have on it, within 5 (five) working days of receiving written notification from gamesation.co.uk or one of its duly authorized minions.”
Company officials said they now own the souls of thousands of online shoppers, and included the language to prove that online users never read the language anyway.
