Nepøehledné smlouvy

Malá ètivost tìchto smluv je èasto dána také zpùsobem jejich prezentace, kdy jsou zpravidla zobrazeny miniaturním písmem v malém okénku a pøímo tak odrazují od jakéhokoli delšího ètení. Služba GMail je pomìrnì kontroverzní a zpùsob prezentace její smlouvy pøi registraci je velice podobný tomuto zpùsobu. Není proto od vìci vynést tuto smlouvu na svìtlo a pìknì velkým písmem si ji pøeèíst. Tento èlánek je samozøejmì pouze pro fandy a znalce angliètiny, kteøí právì nemají co dìlat. Pokud vás ani tento úvod neodradil, mùžete se již ponoøit do ètení a zkoumání záhad tolik diskutovaného Google Mailu.
