We all do it. We all buy things on the web without reading all of the user agreement first. Tick the box to say yes, with a faint nagging feel that it's wrong but not enough to spend the necessary 5 minutes! Well, on 1st April, if you bought from GameStation then there is a reasonable chance you just gave away your living soul. Hidden into their terms and conditions was the following:
"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 non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, 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 gamestation.co.uk or one of its duly authorised minions."
It appears that around 7500 people made purchases on the day. It seems hardly any contacted the company to say that would rather not surrender their immortal soul. If you bought from them on that day and you see letters of fire standing six feet tall in front of your house then you ahd better not read them, it won't just be the bailiff.
