Not sure if any Internet Ts & Cs have been tested, but there's plenty of history of unreasonable Ts & Cs being overturned, usually ones hidden away in the small print.
There's also quite a chunk of Ts & Cs that despite common usage are totally unenforceable, including those that supposedly 'benefit the consumer' despite providing less protection than statutory rights, which obviously can not be waived.
I would provide some links to interesting cases, but as it's Friday afternoon I cba'd.

Is this a porn site?Originally posted by xoggoth View PostA lot of things you sign up for on the internet have a clause in the conditions something like this:
Of course nobody ever does review conditions for every little thing regularly even if they could remember where to find them, so what if they added a clause saying you agree to give them your life savings or their directors could shag your daughter/wife on demand, would it be legal? I suspect not in English law. Has it ever been tested?
