Let’s be honest… We’ve all been there. You’re signing up for something online, eyes glazing over, scrolling through what feels like a legal novel… And there it is: The terms and conditions. Do you read them? Nah. You scroll straight to the bottom and hit ‘I agree’ faster than you can say ‘terms schmerms’.
But what really happens when you don’t read the fine print? Most of the time, nothing… Until it matters. Let’s dig into some real-world examples and unpack why reading your insurance policy, in particular, is more important than you think.
Why reading the fine print could actually pay off
Here’s a wild 1: In 2019, a company sneakily hid a clause in their terms offering R189,000 to the first person who spotted it. 1 sharp-eyed high school teacher read the full thing, claimed the prize, and proved that reading the fine print isn’t just smart, it can literally pay off!
Then there was the time a cheeky WiFi provider included a clause that users agreed to clean local toilets. It took 2 weeks for anyone to notice. Yikes!
These examples are meant to be funny, but they prove a serious point: By skipping the small print, you could be missing out, or worse, signing up for something you really didn’t mean to.
When it comes to insurance, the fine print isn’t optional
Now let’s bring it closer to home. When it comes to your insurance policy, the fine print is everything. It tells you what’s covered, what’s not, and how to claim when life throws the unexpected your way.
Picture this: You’re in a bumper bash and only then realise your policy doesn’t cover third party damage. That’s not just awkward, it could literally cost you thousands.
