QFT Clearly, says Hirsh, a lengthy clickable agreement is often intended to commit consumers to things they would rather not commit to if they truly understood.

QFT Clearly, says Hirsh, a lengthy clickable agreement is often intended to commit consumers to things they would rather not commit to if they truly understood.

I always print critical reading-and I read mostly e-books. It's easier to mark up and discuss. These online consents are clickable rail cloak tickets. If a consent form is privacy or cost related there should be short, clear, specific sentences. Pretty well anything I sign in front of a rep has pages of info that the rep summarizes into short sentences then says sign/initial here. If the rep can do it, the contract should be written that way.
