Anyone who has ever signed up for a website or online service will almost certainly have had to agree to “terms and conditions”. Legalistic, jargonistic and entirely unread by consumers, many companies have now stopped even showing the “Ts&Cs” to users – you’re asked merely to confirm that you’ve read them, even though you almost certainly haven’t.

But, call me sentimental, none of that worthless tat is ready for the bin just yet.
