I think that covers terrorism pretty well. As long as it can be partly covered by something on that list, Alienware is good to go.

next time you install a program, read the End User License Agreement (EULA), and marvel at the jargon and ass-covering.

epidemic? LOL

 

[kuk]

My car is not insured for most of those things.

 

[ChicagoNick]

the term "including without limitation" means that it's not an END ALL list. there can be more things that they haven't included in there.

 

[Shockwave]

What the hell?? This the first time you've read an exclusion listing? This is pretty standard. Essentially, its a long way to say
"If you do anything retarded, or anything retarded happens, YOU pay for it"

Unfortunately, because people ARE retarded they have to do a long drawn out exclusion otherwise people bitch that the warrenty wasnt upheld.

 

[Blieb]

They left out acts of g-d. Seriously.
