Hi again a thought,
Whaat about contract law? Unfair Terms state..
Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations (1999). section 5
Unfair Terms
5.
(1) A contractual term which has not been individually negotiated shall
be regarded as unfair if, contrary to the requirement of good faith, it
causes a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations
arising under the contract, to the detriment of the consumer.
(2) A term shall always be regarded as not having been individually
negotiated where it has been drafted in advance and the consumer has
therefore not been able to influence the substance of the term.
(3) Notwithstanding that a specific term or certain aspects of it in a
contract has been individually negotiated, these Regulations shall apply
to the rest of a contract if an overall assessment of it indicates that
it is a pre-formulated standard contract.
(4) It shall be for any seller or supplier who claims that a term was
individually negotiated to show that it was.
(5) Schedule 2 to these Regulations contains an indicative and
non-exhaustive list of the terms which may be regarded as unfair.”
and also the new act of 2008 not familiar with that one yet using this one to ignore parking charge by private firm of thieving bandits.
And seeing as they havent asked us how can we agree.WE all know how virgin like their contracts dont we?
