Karif,
What does that have to do with anything.

Nafres makes a very valid point. In the age of electronic commerce that would be one way of getting a refund.
From a legal stand point clicking "accept" is not the same as signing a contract. It just means you agree to the terms. Assuming that the terms of the agreement are met.
How many times have you clicked "I Agree" to Microsoft software and they get sued all the time. So, tell me how this is any different?
Asking for a refund is not as "crazy" of an idea as most of you make it out to be. It is the right of the person who purchase the product or service.

Veruna,
Your going a bit over the top here. I don't think he meant "forced" as in the literal sense of the word.
We all know that software companies use EULAs as shields from legal backlash. That is a standard for the industry but it doesn't mean you give up all your rights.

Ross,
I don't think "Gaming Services" refers to online gaming. I am pretty sure they mean "forms of gambling".

Ross,
They specifically mentioned "computer software".
I don't think I would lump online gaming in the same category as gambling.

lol,
Yeah, legal documents tend to leave a lot of room for "loose" interpretations.

Znaei,
I fail to see how being "A Cool American" has any bearing on this subject.
You say that a lawsuit is stupid, maybe. But the person was only asking about a refund.
The fact that you label someone as "stupid" without reading the entire thread shows your own stupidity.

Sylvius,
Your point has some merit. So, the the subscriber of the online account lives outside of Iceland then their laws don't apply.
Hence, the EULA is invalid. I know someone will say this only applies to the "pirated" material you mentioned.
Basically, what your saying is that if you don't live in that country then your not bound by its laws. This is another topic that can be "loosely" interpreted.

Ross,
It doesn't really matter. When we all signed up for our accounts there was no pop-up or splash screen that notified us exactly which country the server was located in and what "laws" would apply.
Websites are mirrored all over the world and without explicitly telling the end-users, it is their right to assume they are protected unless stated otherwise.
However, I say if really want to make a legal case of the whole matter. I would opt for discrimination and favortism lawsuit by CCP.
