Hi folks 🖖;
🍪 Cookie of the week
I hesitated a little bit where to put this information, in the Cookie or in the News section. Then I flipped a coin…
When you subscribe to the SpaceX broadband service, in section 9 of the Terms of Service you can read:
9. Governing Law.
For Services provided to, on, or in orbit around the planet Earth or the Moon, these Terms and any disputes between us arising out of or related to these Terms, including disputes regarding arbitrability (“Disputes”) will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California in the United States. For Services provided on Mars, or in transit to Mars via Starship or other colonization spacecraft, the parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities. Accordingly, Disputes will be settled through self-governing principles, established in good faith, at the time of Martian settlement.
Think twice before you sign…
