How are they even going to prove a specific person agreed to these terms or even used their app?
Using the app forces you to log in (via email or similar). And that can be backtracked to you if you're not careful!
The last time I checked, they didn't even require clicking any confirmation email. Every time I visit a McDonald's I reinstall their app and just create a new bullshit account with a temporary email which I don't even need to check. For all they know, you might have created an account with my email and agreed to the terms (just an example). It's unenforceable on so many levels I'm dumbfounded.
I just pay for the fries
I just don't go to McDonald's.
Are you gonna do a perjury and say it wasn't you that made the account? As much as I tell myself "oops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I accidentally clicked a button without reading what it said," I'm not ready to keep that up with a lawyer going through my account history and showing that I ordered a baconator and a whopper on July 19th 2021, and they happen to have video of me inside the store picking up that exact order that I paid for with my credit card
But not everyone does that. I would as well... if I visited there. Which I don't. Because I am fucking paranoid. But this is the way to go.... unless you use coupons from the app which would prove you using it and thus having accepted that you wont make fat stacks suing them.
My point was that they don't even verify the email address you provide. It can be anyone's address.
Well... kay point taken
