Consumers should be careful in reading legal and government documents before signing them because they are binding legal agreements.

A consumer should be careful when reading legal and/or government documents because the consumer must agree to every single word, not just certain sections. If there is a particular section that the consumer cannot upkeep, then the consumer is in trouble. :-(

Reading carefully also prevents misunderstandings, and it gives the right for the consumer to complain about unfair business -- but only if they actually read the TOS (terms of service). I hope I helped!
