Sometime you just have to shrug and sign hoping that you understood the intent. Great example Danielle, thanks for sharing it. LOL – That is some wording!

This, for example, is the legal small print on a document we were asked to fill out here giving our contact details in case of emergency: "Please note that [company name] will not do the thing that is used for the report and the confirmation in the emergency, and used by other purposes about the content that has been described to "Emergency Call Form" at all." - I'm pretty sur they are saying they won't use our details except in an emergency but I can't be sure... LOL This one, I think, is telling us that we don't have to fill it all in but if there is an emergency we might die (since the guard won't be able to contact us). "It is excellent as unfill in when there is an inconvenient item in filling in. However, please note that the guard business purpose cannot be accomplished if it describes and it doesn't exist when the emergency is really required enough."
