Horoscopes & Legal Disclaimers

Once again, I'm procrastinating. So I started perusing around Tarot.com (source of my frickin' Google horoscopes that I read everyday). Man. They have a lot of shit services!!! I mean I guess I'm not surprised, but they charge an arm and a leg to feed you bull shit.

I started to wonder what type of disclaimer they have on their website to protect themselves from frivolous law suits.

General Disclaimer:

Even though observing your personal cycles can help you see patterns, stimulate your intuition and make better decisions, information delivered by Tarot.com's products and features should be used with common sense. Tarot.com is not responsible for how you interpret or apply astrological or divinatory information.

Be advised that the accuracy of an astrology or numerology report is dependent on the accuracy of the birth data going in. Tarot.com is not responsible for the accuracy of birth-times as they have been recorded by governments, agencies or ephemerides. On Tarot.com we used the most widely-used interactive resource for determining true GMT -- the Astro Communications Services (ACS) Atlas -- which adjusts entered birth-times and places for time zones, daylight savings time, etc. We do not warranty the absolute accuracy of the ACS Atlas itself, even though it serves as the trusted resource for most computer-generated astrology charts and reports.

Classic!!! Sooooo, if they end up giving you a reading that's totally wrong, it's probably your mistake. Or the government's. Or the hospital.

I just thought it was funny. And deserved a post. Aaaand I really don't want to go back to writing that abstract...
