Language Log » "We're updating our novel-length Terms of Service?"

From a company hereafter known as HotAirbnb.

The Terms of Service tab  is a document comprising 28,246 words of legalese. The Privacy Policy tab comprises 8,729 words. The Host Guarantee Terms and Conditions  comprises 16,700 words. There's Guest Refund Policy tab weighing in at a mere 1,406 words, and a couple of other tabs that are merely magazine-article size.  Ignoring them, we get 28246+8729+16700+1406 = 55081 words, or about the size of a short novel, though much less readable.

I'm used to long click-through agreements that no one has the time or interest to read, but this seems to be some kind of a record.
