The intention here is to argue that legal entities, private or even public, under certain circumstances, can also belong to the category of consumer. As a case study, we look at some specific clauses of Google’s widely-used cloud-based Agreements in Brazil, and in particular, those clauses which pertain to Brazilian’s Consumer Protection Code.","PeriodicalId":173747,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Conference on Cloud Computing and Communications","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121511102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
