“We love you, but signing this agreement doesn’t make us legal partners.” — Aviary EULA
That’s from the “summary” column, on the right side of a page that has the equivalent legalese on the other side. It’s an example of a human way to present an end user license agreement (EULA), one of those legal documents that you have to assent to when you sign up for an online service.
This site is a good example of treating a user like a human being, instead of a pawn in a gotcha game. (Thanks for another good suggestion, Josh.)
