Netflix Created An Important Formal Binge-Watching Contract To Help Save Relationships From Crumbling

Netflix Created A Formal Binge-Watching Contract To Save Relationships

One of the most egregious things a person in a relationship can do is skip ahead and sneakily watch episodes of a Netflix show that they have agreed they would only watch along with you.

Granted, there are worse things one can do in a realtionship than this, but at the moment I just can’t think of any. You know what I mean.

It doesn’t matter if the two of you having schedules that conflict and they’re getting impatient waiting for the two of you to be together at the same time to watch the show. A pact is a pact, dammit!

In fact, this has become such a serious issue that the folks over at Netflix South Africa have come up with a 100 percent legally binding way (I am assuming) to ensure this doesn’t happen to you: a formal Netflix Co-Watching Contract.

The Terms and Conditions are as follows…

• I WON’T fall asleep.
• I WON’T get distracted by my phone causing the other person to rewind because I missed something.
• I WON’T continue watching a show without the other person present.
• I WON’T talk whilst the show is on.
• In the event that I come across a spoiler, I WON’T share it with the other person.

Glad they added that part about the spoiler. So needed.

 

So far this Netflix Co-Watching Contract has been shared 1,700 times on Facebook, which is certainly not enough.

Also, there is no penalty for breaching contract listed. Seems like that could be a critical omission. Guess we will just have to come up with our own punishments. Any suggestions?
