You Can Only Get Out Of Amazon’s Ts And Cs If There’s A Zombie Apocalypse

Most people don’t read the endless terms and conditions from companies but something in Amazon’s proves that you maybe should.

Buried in the wordy Ts & Cs for new game engine Lumberyard on Amazon Web Services are some rules that the software shouldn’t be used with “life-critical or safety-critical systems”.

Surprising: Zombies will let you break the terms of this Amazon product (Twitter/@willgoldstone)

But all that is swept aside - if a zombie apocalypse takes place and the world is overrun by the walking dead.

The terms state: “This restriction will not apply in the event of the occurrence (certified by the United States Centers for Disease Control or successor body) of a widespread viral infection transmitted via bites or contact with bodily fluids that causes human corpses to reanimate and seek to consume living human flesh, blood, brain or nerve tissue and is likely to result in the fall of organized civilisation.”

Twitter user Will Goldstone highlighted the scary terms, tweeting: “Happy for friends at Amazon launching new tech, but why is no one talking about their zombie warning in the license?”

We might laugh at this - but do Amazon know something that the rest of us don’t?
