{{KidsIntro|Some apps and websites look fun and free, but hidden in their long "Terms of Use" are sentences that quietly take away your rights. It can feel like being offered a nice toy, then being told that to play you must give away your drawings, promise never to complain in a real court, and accept that the rules can change tomorrow without asking you. This page collects a few well-known examples of such one-sided sentences, so everyone can see them clearly. The goal is not to attack anyone, it is to show why fair, win-win terms matter, and how WikiDeal aims at helping people write terms that respect both sides.}}

{{ExpertIntro|A symbolic, in-construction catalogue of recurring one-sided clauses found in online Terms of Use (broad content licences, forced arbitration with class-action waivers, unilateral change of terms, sweeping data sharing, "as is" liability dumps). Each entry pairs the clause pattern with why it is considered user-hostile and which watchdogs already document it (EFF, Terms of Service; Didn't Read). WikiDeal intends to use these examples to motivate ethical, win-win terms, not to issue legal rulings about specific companies.}}
