It’s just an act of God, nothing special…

Sometimes you wonder if there is someone who reads the End User License Agreement…
If found this on the McAfee Security website:
YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SOFTWARE MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE OR BECOME UNAVAILABLE DUE TO ANY NUMBER OF FACTORS INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PERIODIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE, SCHEDULED OR UNSCHEDULED, ACTS OF GOD, TECHNICAL FAILURE OF THE SOFTWARE, TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE, OR DELAY OR DISRUPTION ATTRIBUTABLE TO VIRUSES, DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACKS, INCREASED OR FLUCTUATING DEMAND, ACTIONS AND OMISSIONS OF THIRD PARTIES, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE REASONABLY BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE COMPANY.
Since when do we include acts of God in an End User License Agreement?
