Reddit users spot ridiculous iTunes clause that many people will have agreed to without realising

Reddit users spot ridiculous iTunes clause that many people will have agreed to without realising

Apple iTunes contains a bizarre clause in its terms and conditions that every user will have agreed to without realising

iTunes has one of the most bizarre clauses ever to be seen in a License Agreement, and every user in the US will have agreed to it without realising.

Terms and Conditions are probably the most unread thing out there on the internet. Among the hundreds we come across, we have a habit of scrolling right to the bottom and almost really agreeing to anything.

And why wouldn't we? The agreements are extremely long, filled with complicated jargon, and irrelevant legal stuff to the majority of us. So, we rapidly scroll to the bottom straight to the 'I accept' button, and carry on with our day.

Well, one bizarre clause in the the End User License Agreements (EULA) of iTunes might surprise you.

By agreeing to iTunes' conditions, you promise not to build nuclear or biological weapons with iTunes. Because they don't allow it.

So if building nukes and conquering world domination was on your agenda, you'll have to find another music platform to do so.

The clause reads: "You also agree that you will not use these products for any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, the development, design, manufacture, or production of nuclear, missile, or chemical or biological weapons."

Now, if you're a user of Apple iTunes, you will have agreed to this clause. And thereby, you solemnly swear that you will not use iTunes to build nuclear weapons. So make sure to not make a playlist that's too explosive!

There's been other cases in big companies where users have likely agreed to weird clauses and conditions without taking a second look.

For example, Google explicitly mentions in their Terms of Service that if they disable your account for any reason, you may lose access to stored services or content files you have on there. And yes, there are horror stories on the internet of this happening to some unfortunate Google users in the past.

Ironically though, the iTunes EULA is likely more specific and detailed than many of the agreements between current world leaders.

Reddit users have responded quite humorously to the iTunes clause, with one commenting: "Well, there goes my weekend plans!"

And another saying: "So like if you listen to iTunes while building a nuke, does that count? Asking for a friend."

Whilst one Business Insider editor whimsically responded with: "If you can use iTunes to build nuclear weapons, you deserve to do whatever you want."
