This notice sent by mail for a free Tablet may seem exciting at first, but there’s a catch. In order to receive your “New 7″ Tablet,” you must attend a 90-minute pitch for DirectBuy of Greater Hartford, a buying club that uses group buying power to get lower prices on various items. If you’re interested in sitting through the presentation, that’s fine — but this caveat is hidden in the Sometimes termed “mouse print” or, more benignly, “disclosure language”, and presented in miniscule font.

Fine print:
Except when there’s battery damage.
As a TINA.org reader put it, it’s only “free” if you first spend money.
