    1. False advertising has nothing to do with breach of contract. Completely separate sections of law.

    2. Nothing offered in perpetuity will stand up in court. You can argue about reasonable terms, but it can never be forever.

    3. Marketing gets you into the contract. The contract holds the actual terms that both (or all) parties are bound to.

      Perpetuity and lifetime are different time frames.

      One lasts forever, one lasts until you die. There is a difference

      1. Pedantic. You’re arguing that false advertising isn’t illegal. But it is.

      2. As the other poster said, perpetuity isn’t what was advertised, lifetime is what was advertised. Lifetime is a common term used in legal claims. It can refer to lifetime of the person, or lifetime of the device a service is used on, or other things, but it is a specific and enforceable term.

      3. See number 1.

        I said nothing of the sort, and have no idea where you got that idea. All I said was that marketing claims are separate from the contract.

        However, this thread is clearly not interested in any actual exchange of ideas or information, so I will no longer be taking part. Go ahead and downvote.
