2. Have you ever signed a contract without reading it?
These days, the answer for most of us is YES!
Think about it!
How many times have you ticked that little box that says:
Agree to these Terms and Conditions, without reading them?
Scary isn’t it?
This short presentation highlights some parts of the iCloud agreement that
you need to know

using this service
(all that is needed to create a new account is alternate email address but shhh)
