Halloween Decoration EULA?
So, I bought this little 5" grim reaper bust at CVS tonight. It's nice; it lights up and make sounds. The accompanying fine print contains the following (emphasis added):
"Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment."
So... am I licensing the use of this equipment, subject to those terms? Would my right "to operate [this] equipment" (that is, to have this thing sit on my desk or whatever) be null and void should I choose to, say, open this thing up and tweak the lights or disable the speakers? Who enforces this stuff?
Weirder still, this appears to be boilerplate language (try Googling the phrase). Does anyone have any insight into the legal precedent for these kinds of claims?
