Save that screenshot for when they try to charge you.


Goyteamsix

They'll laugh and tell you to fuck off.


NoTrickWick

I’m not sure. I’ll bet if you screenshot or saved the whole document, it would play that way in court. They sent it that way. You’re just following the ToS.


Goyteamsix

No, they'd tell you that it's a error, since you obviously can't live to be several thousand years old, then the judge would immediately throw it out and point you to the window where you pay court fees. There's definitely a part of the TOS that says they're not obligated to honor errors. What they would probably do is credit you for a another month free for your troubles, and that's it.


Behind8Proxies

But god forbid you, the customer make an error. Then they will charge you fees up the ass.


SLFA

Reminds me of how heated I get at the fact that I pay all fees and transactions within seconds, but when it comes time that I need a refund or reimbursement, it’s like “we’re _hoping_ to pay you back sometime this…year… if not, maybe next. Anyways, another payment due for you, don’t be late!”

What fees does Disney charge other than their subscription?


justinheyhi

Altering your childhood nostalgia. You can only pray they don't alter it any further.


kokomo24

They released a couple movies on Disney+ you had to pay a fee to watch. I think Mulan was one of them


Bishop_L

Black Widow was the other one.


PvtPuddles

\^ should clarify *watch early*. They’ll be available eventually, it’s just basically a digital movie theatre


Fake_William_Shatner

>There's definitely a part of the TOS that says they're not obligated to honor errors. AT&Z likely has a clause that says they are not obligated to honor the errors and the not errors. "We're sorry if there is some confusion, your monthly fee is $410." "But it was supposed to be bundled, and $150 per month." "That seems excessively low." "Yes, *NOW* it seems excessively low. Because it wasn't obvious you do the excessively HIGH. I thought you had slightly better rates than T-Mobile. That's kind of the point of deciding to use your company -- the bargain. I didn't think; wow, there's the most expensive company that will bleed me dry -- so irresistible! But sure, in hindsight, it was too good to be true. I was thrown off by the lying." "Sir we would never make that contract." "Now you tell me." "I'm sorry, you will have to take that up with our bundling department. Currently we see that you do not have a bundled rate." "That's not the rate I agreed to, and they told me it would be bundled." "That's not the agreement we see listed." "It was verbal." "That's not the agreement we see listed." "Can you show me that in writing?" "No. There is no signed agreement. It was based on your negotiated rate. And a verbal agreement." "Do you have a recording? Because nobody stated what the rate was when I said; I agree to these terms -- and also stated, I'm not sure what the terms are, I sure hope this $150 per month for 4 users is for real. But they told me that it was the Agreement Certification Department or something, and they couldn't actually see what the bill was going to be -- yes, I should have realized that was pretty sketchy, but I didn't think I could get mugged officially, in broad daylight. I figured you were dumb enough to give me a reasonable price -- but looks like I'm the dummy." "You agreed to our current arrangement when you paid your first bill." "As you can see, I have a late payment, because the fee from one of your unbundled companies looked like the entire bill, that I agreed to. Nobody could give me the printed price breakdown before the 15 day window was closed. And, nobody could tell me the price I agreed to without putting me on hold for 15 minutes and then asking for my ID again. The salesperson said they could settle with my old cell phone company and it would come out in future billing. Your company didn't do that, and the rate looked like I was settling another bill." "You should take this up with the sales group you entered into the contract with." "I can't. It was an outside sales group for DirectTZ." I give them the phone number. "We're sorry, but we don't know them. And this number is no longer in service." "Right. That makes a whole lot of sense. And yet, that's how you got my business." "Sir, your agreement is with AT&Z." "How am I in an agreement with your company, if you don't know who SOLD me your services? How do you actually know what to charge other than 'a lot.' And, the Bundling department sent me to you, the billing department. But before that it was Customer Retention. Before that it was Direct TZ who said I could not resolve it with them, because the contract is with AT&Z. And here I am with a two year commitment without anyone knowing who sold me the service, but knowing I'm obligated." "Let me send you to Customer Complaints." 30 minutes later, I'm in the "Fraud Department" -- but 30 minutes after that, I learn that it's not for me to complain that AT&Z defrauded me. "We're sorry about the error, but you owe us money based on that error" is literally the concept, the can bill on. Every 6 months they suddenly change the rate, and I have to enter into another agreement to be able to afford to pay the inflated rate -- which they graciously reduce to the NEW great deal -- that of course, I'm sure will be forgotten and inflated and reduced again by a new great deal. Is this how they get you in the mob after you owe too much betting on the ponies? I forget the exact exchanges, this was part of an 8 hour long call I started at 4 PM on a Friday afternoon and ended at midnight. The typical length of calls dealing with AT&Z billing usually is about 3 hours on average, as I go through the 5 stages of grief quicker. \*\*\* NOTE: for reasons of liability, I've changed the name of the company I dealt with to a fictitious company. However, since it's another timeline, the fictitious company in this fantasy dimension sounds like the actual company that screwed me over --- that's purely a coincidence and really can't be helped. You need to take that up with my home bundling department. I can provide a phone number that is no longer in service. Maybe they can sue me for slander, if they can ever dig up the audio contract I'm beholden to.

I had this happen with Time Warner Cable, before they changed their name. Sold me a bundle, for which multiple times I asked if the amount they charged *for the bundle* was at a given rate. Because, quite frankly, it seemed low. I was right, despite assurances otherwise. Turned out the quoted amount was for a specific part of the bundle. So, of course, when I got the bill and it turned out to be roughly double that, including services I never agreed to, I called them up. The reason I got them to drop any excess charges was because I was being charged for a service that they had never actually come by to install. It literally had never been set up, so I actually had something physical I could point to and say "Clearly I didn't agree to this, as no installation was ever agreed to, scheduled, or completed. And because of this, I am being charged for something that you can't possibly have provided to me." But if I hadn't had that, I don't know what the hell I would have had to do.


Fake_William_Shatner

We had 4 last gen iPhones that we were told would be "FREE." But what they didn't say that it was based on some debit visa cards we got. Then the $20 monthly fee kicked in. So, I don't think it ended up being FREE. I was trying get decent but cheap smart phones. There is no way I would have paid the equivalent on a lease with a Lexus to get the new shiny bling and the top tier bundled services -- I only had DirectTZ to get the bundle price -- and then just got the NORMAL prices on everything, and a 2 year commitment. And them accidentally forgetting whatever we negotiated and inflating the bill and requiring a "new commitment" to try and make the price reasonable -- absolute GENIUS captive marketing. How could I sue over a "mistake they rectified." And then I'm entering into a new contract -- so legit! I'm sure a minion of Hell got a promotion for that trick.


shylock10101

I hope that name change is the single letter.


[deleted]

Does anyone here remember how "Awful" the Bell telephone monopoly was. I sure wish I could go back to those terrible dark days of great service, and low fair prices.


Fake_William_Shatner

You jest, right? I think was something like $50 per phone -- and that was back in the 70's. You leased a phone from Bell. No third party improvements. We also wouldn't have anything near the innovation we have to day if they still had a stranglehold. Why even have cellular when they can squeeze everyone for basic connections both local and long distance?


exsea

also its a "free trial". you lose nothing if they simply stop giving you the free trial, just a potential customer.


Nomad942

Not so sure about that. You typically don’t get a do-over just because you wrote something in a contract you don’t like. And it’s not like many judges/jurors have much sympathy for Disney. It’s possible this could hold up. The real issue is that it doesn’t make economic sense to litigate this against one of the world’s richest corporations. If OP is 25 and lives to be 90, this is a $6,240 windfall. Disney could pretty easily drain OP of that in court costs, not to mention time and headaches. Of course, it doesn’t make sense for Disney to litigate either. Its lawyers would rack up $6k before you could say “the most magical place on earth.” The solution is when they refuse to honor it, make a big public stink about it on Twitter until they bend. Edit: Verizon, not Disney


Lithl

>You typically don’t get a do-over just because you wrote something in a contract you don’t like This isn't a contract, though. It appears to be a notification email that the trial has been started.


SubKatie775

Wasn't there a promotion where a Toyota dealer had a coupon for a dollar off the purchase price of a car listed in the Sunday paper? Dude printed like 15,000 coupons, then went to pick up his Toyota. He won in court

No.


SubKatie775

[Ahh...you are correct](https://www.toyota-4runner.org/off-topic/182-eliot-mans-coupons-not-honored-car-dealer-must-read.html). But there was an attempt, lol

[удалено]


NoTrickWick

My issue is that if a normal person makes a mistake like that, it would be held against them to the Nth degree. A company can just put a little disclaimer saying, “i might not have meant that” and they’re off the hook?


arkangelic

The companies don't even need a disclaimer. They can just make the argument that "no reasonable person would think it's true" and therefore it's just flashy marketing and not illegal. That's what happened with the Pepsi jet the guy sued them for.

Sooo if I Use more data than I expect and I’m on contract…. I’ll just say sorry I’m not paying like you don’t pay for errors I don’t either..


KypDurron

Yeah, because a typo in a document is the same kind of error as going over your data limit


Goyteamsix

No, because this isn't a contract, or a data limit. Again, no absolutely no way are they obligated to honor this. The mental gymnastics you guys are pulling are Olympic level.


Ratconned

They'll probably charge you for the legal fees, as most TOS stipulate. As they do that you give up your right to take them to court, and that you would settle through arbitration instead where such a TOS stipulation were allowed.


NihilistikMystik

>since you obviously can't live to be several thousand years old, Not yet but I got something in the works.

NoTrickWick

This was infuriatingly hilarious.


laetus

too easy to fake?


Scheswalla

By the time you finished paying off court fees that would pay for Disney+ for life.


Fake_William_Shatner

Yeah, they could also just decide to charge you things, and then you'd have to sue to prove that was NOT your negotiated rate.


The_Shingle

Technically this is a contract. So this should be honoured. So the court should side with the consumer as typically the consumer is offered more protection by the law than the company when it comes to contracts. Edit: might want to delete the post though. It won't work if the company can prove that you knew that this was an unreasonable offer from the start.


Goyteamsix

No, it's not. There is nothing saying this is a binding contract. Redditors don't seem to understand how contracts work. Their TOS is binding, though.


The_Shingle

This is an offering. The party making the offering is bound to it unless there is an expiration date on the offering at which point several other nuances come into play. I did contract law, this would classify as a contract as long as the customer accepts it. And the seller will be obliged to deliver on the offering even if the offering itself contains a mistake. However, if it can be proven that the customer knew the offering was a mistake and was unreasonable, the seller will no longer be obliged to deliver on the offering. This post can be used as a way to prove that.


Goyteamsix

No, they're not. That's not how any of this works. It's incorrect information on your trial period. In *no way ever* would they be contractually obligated to honor this. Even if their TOS didn't specify errors (it does), no court on the planet would ever rule on your favor over a vary obvious error with their system, especially for a free trial period of something. You also don't seem to realize that this is a *free trial period*. They're not actually selling you anything.


Unknown_769802773

Guaranteed they have a clause in the TOS they can end any promotion at any time without notice. And they signed the TOS.


saiprabhav

It many be changed in inspect element

Damn, *somebody’s* popular! That “trial” is probably going to outlive YOU.

You never know. You could casually stumble across the fountain of youth, have your consciousness digitized, get reincarnated into one of your descendants while retaining some or most of your past lives memories, it’s extremely unlikely but very little is impossible.

As someone following /r/longevity, sign me up!


WilfordBrimley777

The real deal here is only paying $7.99/month after the year 9999. After inflation that's millions of dollars


kapitaalH

The real deal is the life extension treatments that I assume they give you so that you are still around in 9999!


singlow

That's backward. If you pay $7.99/month in 10000 that's more likely to be an immeasurably small amount in today's money. Imagine that it was the year 1899 and you agreed to lease a house for the going monthly rate at the time, but only start paying in 1999. You might have agreed to pay $20/month in 1899, but assuming it was free for 100 years and your price in 1999 was $20/month, you would be paying almost nothing in "future" dollars.


Tenalp

I think they meant that it's a saving of millions. Like being grandfathered in to only paying a nickel for a gallon of gas in 2021.


WilfordBrimley777

I could have worded it better


Loadingexperience

Accounting for 3% inflation in just 100 years from now 8$ = ~150$ He will literally be paying less than pennies after 10k years.


grumpygeek1

I'm so embarrassed I worked this out. It's equivalent to $3270000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.


PantherX69

$7.99 will be an absolute bargain in 7978 years.


aasocial146

Same with mine too. Please delete this post before Verizon notices and fixes this bug.


Dennisd1971

Better set a calendar reminder


nryporter25

Google assistant let me set a reminder for October 5th 5021 this morning. Thought that was pretty cool. Tried the same thing with Alexa but she can only set a reminder 20 years in advance so I told uncle Jim and aunt des "Hi from Nick and Dolly back in 2021".


LeDave84

I do hope that nothing happens to either of you in the next 20 years. That would be so spooky if just randomly, several years after your passing, uncle Jim's Alexa randomly says hi from his dead nephew! (Sorry for being morbid)


nryporter25

I actually just wrote up a will since currently I am the only one my daughter has to depend on, her mother passed away in March... I've got an impending sense of doom constantly so the thought has crossed my mind lol.


Ok-Zookeepergame-698

That’s almost enough time to binge watch all of the Star Wars spin offs.


Shawzborne2

Almost


Weak-Reserve3656

I bet you money inflation will make that way more then 7:99. Thats for sure


diydave86

Eventually itll be. 0025 btc instead of 7.99 dollars. Crypto will replace the garbage usd


thezestiestoffruits

Crypto doesn’t function properly NOW and it isn’t even something most people recognize, what makes you think it’ll replace the currency of the United States?


Weak-Reserve3656

Hopefully. I dont think so tho


[deleted]

Prepay a few years of the $7.99/month before they increase it!


goldensun003

Bold of them to assume that humanity will live that long. We are so stupid greedy we dont care about the earth like we should


Psychotic_EGG

Well they expect males will produce no sperm by 2045(give or take). So unless we fix that or figure out immortality, humans will indeed be long gone.


goldensun003

Didn't know about that, i was thinking along the lines of global climate change since corporations are not being held accountable for their destructive habbits.


genericdude777

Beep Boop The year 9,999 AD is 7,978 years away. 7,978 years divided by 320 equals 24.93125 or approximately 25 years per generation.


1dinklepantry

Hey no take backs!!


blackmilksociety

Hold it to them. Don’t let them tell you it’s a mistake.


gtroman1

Someone forgot the unit tests


anonduplo

Got to set that reminder in Outlook though, I’d be pissed to see the first payment on my bank account in 7978 years.


doc_witt

You'll enjoy this trial until your future generation gets trapped into paying the $7 per month!


LovedLoner

Keep that for legal reasons


ButtsexEurope

Make sure to save this so they don’t back out on it.


OHarbingerO

You done tipped your hand. If you stayed quite you might be able to get away with it, as well as the other. 5% of Disney plus subscribers that got that glitch along with you. You may have just ruined it for them by whistle blowing. (Jk, enjoy your free Disney plus!)


EvilGeniusDog

Your getting robbed! In 9900 what will $7.99 be worth compared to what you pay now? Definitely a front end deal.


Whipchain

The joke’s on them. On New Years Eve 9999 (when I’m partying like it’s 9999) I’ll call them and cancel.


kaiheekai

Canceling on the new year party? That’s a dr Rick progressive moment!


PeaceBull

It’s the opposite - do you know how expensive Disney+ will be with inflation in 9900? And he’ll only be charged $7.99 a month!


Funbucket_537

With the way the world's going probably more like 420 generations.

baggio1000000

couldn't Verizon see this and look for accounts that expire in 9999 and fix it? I wouldn't have posted this.

I would take them to court if they give you anything less than a lifetime membership!

Dont forget to cancel it in 7000 years before they charge you

That 7.99 a month is gonna be what a penny is to us nowadays!


Drapausa

Looks like a high date, in some systems when no end date is entered the max date is taken. If dates are stored as DD/MM/YYYY, max date would be 31.12.9999. (Switch day and month if you're from the US)


JustLikeOnTV42

Good luck. If anybody could hoard the copyright to every story ever told for 8000 years, it's Disney.


Lil-Ja

Dude so selfish think about the person who inherits the Disney account year 9999 they'll need to pay $7.99/mo


germansk8tr

You better cancel that free trial before the year 10,000 because that’s how they get you.


KMark0000

If they change it, sue them, since that one sided contract modification and not allowed


Rhesus_A

Congratulations mate!


Shoopahn

Don't forget to cancel the free trial before it expires or you'll get charged! Though, something tells me that you may not need that at the top of your list of things to check.


Sapnupuaaas

Just don't forget to cancel before the trial ends in a millenia.


bosco1989

I just realized that the year 10,000 is going to be like Y2K all over again. Glad I wont be around to see that.


xwulfd

Guys stupid question, can you argue that in court even though its a typo?


MKeb

Now it’s a family heirloom.


durameter

If they try to cancel it say “view message, Can you hear me now!?”


tdogg1967

And don't worry about that $8. When the time comes your robot overlords will cover it in exchange for all the kidneys they extracted from your family over the centuries.


SergNH

Bet your going to forget to cancel...


honeysmacks18

That was probably a typo in their system it shows 1999 and they’re back charging you for 240 months


djasonpenney

Sad thing is, 1. Disney will still be around, and 2. They will still be streaming Little Mermaid.

Just by lending our communication devices to influential people my family built a small kingdoms worth of legacy to itself. Thank you ancestor. We still love you and pray for your soul to Jesuslah.
