Privacy Statement |
If I mistype a DNS do I agree to there terms of use?
If so is this legal?
If I have an unresolved link in a website can I be sued for redistributing sitefinder?
If not what if I have an imbedded page or framed page containing a misplaced link am I liable to them?
If I have test scripts which expect 404 pages and now get sitefinder can I not recover losses from verisign for having to change test scripts or change the way I handle 404 errors?
If I opt out of this service do I no longer except terms of use for any verisign product and therefore lose my domain registration?
The privacy concerns are troublesome but it seems the legal ramifications of a company forcing me to except such an agreement on a service like the Internet is quite devastating. How do I prevent typing a bad URL must I stop using the Internet in order to avoid entering into an agreement I do not want or desire to except?
