So what gives? This is a straight LHR-BOS-LHR non-stop booking which appears to be fully refundable at the start and then they hide away that it is non-refundable right before you pay.
Worried if I book I am not going to be able to refund it as I effectively agree to the terms and conditions displayed on the payment page ...

Fare Rules Additional charges may apply for changes in addition to any fare rules listed.
REFUNDABLE
If it doesn't say this, then you can just cancel the ticket under the 24h refund policy.
