Here is the original post from years ago, even then, Mike was trying to hush everyone that received sick and dying frogs. It seems like Mike Matson is still sending out dead frogs.
While buyers and sellers who have contractual capacity can in fact make any sort of legal agreement, there are sometimes terms included that are termed 'unconscionable' which courts can deem unenforceable.
However, it is my opinion that life for any frog buyer would be made easier simply by not dealing with Mike, and his dead animals.
If you have received dead frogs from Mike, read this thread and you will realize that you probably aren't going to get your money back no matter what you do. (You shouldn't have bought from him in the first place, when anyone tells you in their TOS that you can't talk about your dead frogs, what does that tell you?)
Since you probably, in my opinion, aren't getting refunded anyway unless you go to court to have his terms deemed unconscionable, you might as well help your brothers and sisters in the frog world and publish your experience.

Within 72hrs half were dead most within the first 12hrs. My shipping temps were in the mid 60's, I don't believe for one second these frogs became ill during the shipping process. I ordered 10 lime albinos and 10 peppermints. All but one of the lime albinos died within the first 72hrs. I have since lost three of the peppermints to a bacterial infection, they had cloudy eyes when I got them. The seven remaining frogs I have are doing fine and have tripled in size BUT.... Most of the remaining peppermints, which are supposed to stay bright green are turning dark green/brown and look like normal green Pacmans.
Mike said he would replace the entire order, I've been waiting almost three months for twenty frogs. Mike says he doesn't have frogs out of the water yet, but continues to post available frogs on Facebook. I've seen a few other people on Facebook groups complaining that all their lime albino from Mike Matson died.
Mike has since told me they will not be replaced because I out'ed him on a Facebook group. He responded with his typical empty school girl threats.
