CoinURL disallowing withdrawals (split from Beware of scammers!)

[Maged]

Personally, I think this situation is entirely different then bulanuva's situation. Giantdrragon is reasonable in this situation as 1) it is stated in the TOS and 2) he is not withholding your 1.3~ btc with the intention to not return it. He merely wants to comply entirely with the laws of his country, and I agree that refunding you directly would result in much more people taking advantage of this example.
Just my 2 cents.

This sure sounds familiar! 

Your TOS says nothing of the sort, so quit talking.

Then you have not even read it.  There is really nothing else to do it, either quote the TOS here with evidence you can get to the correct page or stop trolling.

Good job! You updated your TOS! Now, all you have to do is pay those people who used the service under the old terms and you should be good to go!

And guess what? We don't track deposits by bitcoind accounts and automatic pay outs can be suspended at any time even under the terms for 2 weeks ago when the original complaint was raised.  Is there anything else I can do to satisfy the Inquisition?

Ok so you have read it then? Ok so let me point out to you

And guess what? That means they are still covered under the old Terms. Pay them, or enjoy your scammer tag once I'm given control of this investigation.

What is your proof that I owe them anything under those terms?

The fact that the implied terms are that you do owe them, and the explicit terms never said that you didn't owe them.

Even AT&T doesn't try to retroactively apply terms. If there was an amount owed prior to term changes the amount doesn't magically disappear. What happens is that as of the changed term date you apply the new terms.

The sly business way to reduce the impact of this is to insert an arbitration clause and specifically prohibit class actions (thanks US Supreme Court 5-4 vote /sarcasm).
