Comic Transcript

CUSTOMER: What do you mean “a typo?” It says to return the software if you disagree with the license. That’s not a matter of punching in a wrong key somewhere.

ALEX: OK, it’s not really a typo. But it is partially meaningless.

CUSTOMER: Partially meaningless?

ALEX: Most of our customers don’t buy software directly from us. They buy software from a third-party vendor, like CompUSURY, who has bought the software from us. So technically, if you didn’t agree with the license, you would return it to the store you bought it from.

CUSTOMER: So that store would be responsible for the refund?

ALEX: Our license is only legally binding between Ubersoft and hte holder of that license. Technically, they’re not obligated to do anything.

(Silence.)

CUSTOMER: Why did you even bother putting that paragraph in there in the first place?

ALEX: it filled in a lot of white space at the bottom of the page.
