Imperial is not a race?
Shouldnt the wording be -
PLAY ANY RACE, EXCEPT IMPERIAL, IN ANY ALLIANCE...
Or could you use this error by Zenimax to claim your Imperial race...

It is worded properly.
You can play any race in any alliance. The Imperial race does not come with the base game and so should not be listed.
Its something a few people are not understanding. by pre-ordering you can play any race in any alliance. if you buy the Imperial edition, you also can play an Imperial in any alliance.

I would of worded, Play any available race in any alliance.
But I think its pretty obvious you cannot play Imperial in the standard edition.
Quit trying to be the people that make us have to have warnings like Caution: Do not use chainsaw in crotch.
It's a play on words, but to be fair it is miss-representing their intentions and could be construed as meaning all races. I know that anyone with a modicum of intelligence will realize what their meaning is. But in accordance with the Better Business Bureau, and the standards set for marketing and advertising. They will need to address and change this to reflect what it actually means and then refund anyone that claims they misunderstood and thought that meant they'd be able to play Imperials as well. Otherwise Zenimax Online is leaving themselves open to a joint lawsuit by players and a fine for false advertisement from the Better Business Bureau.
It's like McDonald's getting a lawsuit because one guy bought a plain quarter pounder for six months and took them home to weigh and record it. He not only won the lawsuit due to McDonald's falsely advertising it was providing a quarter pound of meat (when it wasn't) but they were fined by the Better Business Bureau in accordance to the false advertising. The fine hurt them more because they had to be fined for each year they had the current meat patty provider. Luckily it's not the same company McDonald's started with or they'd have been faced with a real big fine.
If you move your mouse cursor over the picture and/or text in their website, you'll get a clarification telling you that you'll be able join any alliance no matter which race you choose.
I'd say it's clearly enough worded. However, it's not apparent that there's a fine print and people will miss it even if they're careful.
even SOE has EQ2 disclaimers for their freeblood race (which is bought seperately)

All die, so die well.
Not an ESO expert by any means so excuse my ignorance.
But isnt Imperial a faction of a race? just like English are a faction of the human race?
Like i say i dont know how the races/factions/alliances work is TESO.
It's both a race and a faction. But they are definitely referring to the race.
Imperials
Imperial Legion
lol.
Luckily most of these people show repeated interest in NOT playing the game.
