Re: Crap Ts & Cs
"Where's the Plain English Campaign "
Plain English isn't the problem, although it is an essential start. The problem is that they go on for so long and put apalling restrictions on the buyer. A few suggestions:
1. Any terms that go over to the 2nd page are treated as being ommitted.
2. Ts&Cs must be restricted to obligations the vendor is providing.'
3. Any Ts&Cs requiring anything from the purchaser must be provided in a formal contract, not a click-through.
4. Ts&Cs should be limitted to certain Parliament-approved conditions, such as copyright restrictions & number of licences purchased.
5. Finally, Ts&Cs can't be used to take standard rights off the purchaser.
