Question -
More often than not, Web Sites publish a Registration Policy Statement that contains their terms and conditions. It tells you, their visitor, what it means to be a member of their site, what to do, what not to do, and 'what would happen if'.
Our question to you is this: Assuming you are at a site you have not visited before, and you are interested in becoming a member so that you can participate in some of their activities.
How carefully are you going to read their Registration Policy Statement?

| 4202411 | It depends on what kind of site it is... | Laura | Hungary | F | 55 | | 4203401 | I think many of them are just too long and this makes the user less interests or to lose concentration easily. | Raymond | Australia | M | 55 | | 4203159 | I remember,so I very careful. | kirti | India | F | 36 | | 4202415 | most of the time i never read the policy statement ,only on some website i felt like i need to read it . | SUSI | Indonesia | F | 32 | | 4203690 | Does this site have such policy? | Ma. Ida Angela | Philippines | F | 53 | | 4202539 | HOĆU VIŠE DUŽE I ČEŠĆE ANKETE ZA SRBIJU!!! | milena | Serbia | F | 45 | | 4202331 | some time not clear legal word | swati | India | F | 44 | | 4202619 | Keamanan sangat penting | EDI | Indonesia | M | 56 | | 4202623 | The main problem with most Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policies is that they are so long and involved that people are little inclined to spend 30 minutes or more reading them. They should be simpler and shorter in form rather than so verbose and complicated. | Mark | Australia | M | 69 | | 4202586 | I do not have any comments | Carlos | Brazil | M | 40 | | 4203022 | It depends on what the site is and what it is used for. If I haven't heard of it, I would read the Terms & Conditions carefully but otherwise, I will just skim over the headings and sub headings. | Trish | Australia | F | 65 | | 4202855 | You can't be too careful. | Greg | United States | M | 71 | | 4202291 | They have a way of elongating the texts to make it seem daunting and endless | damilola | Nigeria | F | 35 | | 4202308 | PLEASE PROVIDE MORE SPIDERMETRIX SURVEY IN INDIA | JANMEJOY | India | M | 30 | | 4203632 | It depends on the nature of the activity | karen | Australia | F | 58 | | 4201975 | but i still keep a digital copy for future reference. | Gary | Australia | M | 67 |
