Let’s find the repeated phrases in the contracts between you and the big software companies, aka end user agreements.
| Company | Agreement |
|---|---|
| Amazon | aws.amazon.com/agreement/ |
| Apple | www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iOS12.pdf |
| www.facebook.com/terms.php | |
| policies.google.com/terms?hl=en&gl=ZZ |
I looked at phrase of just two words, and discounting phrases with no content like “, and”.
| Company | Count | Short Phrase |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon | 77 | this Agreement |
| Apple | 47 | iOS Software |
| 22 | our Products | |
| 38 | our Services |
Amazon is repetitious with 77 repeats. Apple seems more one point with the specific phrase “iOS system”.
I looked at the longest repeated phrases. They all only occur with count 2, so I’ll leave them out.
| Company | Long Phrase |
|---|---|
| Amazon | that third party’s intellectual property rights, and will pay the amount of any adverse final judgment or settlement. |
| Apple | you agree and consent to Apple’s and its subsidiaries’ and agents’ transmission, collection, maintenance, processing, and use of |
| help you find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organizations, and others that | |
| will apply to such disputes related to these terms. Otherwise, |
Amazon is repeating a threat of a fine. Apple is repeating your widespread agreement. Facebook is repeating the business slogan of connecting people. Google, in a matter of fact way, is repeating how to settle disputes. I suspect that these repeats show the general mindset.
I looked at the number of times the company name is repeated.
| Company Name | Count |
|---|---|
| Amazon | 17 |
| Apple | 133 |
| 55 | |
| 38 |
Amazon is efficient with the fewest repeats. Apple is crazy with much high repeat counts. Facebook and Google are middle of the road.
