Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing and Regulating Disruptive Technology
How many contracts have you read today? This chapter provides an introduction to the work. It sets out the aims of the book and seeks to highlight the reality of contracting online that we all face, ie. the volume of contracts we encounter and our tendency not to read them, mentioning a number of examples of problematic clauses being inserted into contracts, such as GameStation’s Immortal Soul clause. It provides brief guidance for readers from different disciplines, directing them to particular chapters.
It also provides an overview of the sources of law that could be applicable to the industry in the UK and EU.
