Would you really want the law to be this way. Every time a consumer enters into a contract, they would have to go searching the internet for terms that might apply to the contract. My point is that at the very least when terms of a contract are to be imposed, there should be a sign pointing you to where these terms are. I don't really have a problem with web purchases because as mentioned there is a note that says contract of carriage applies, go here for more info. What I don't like is when companies try to imply terms and there is no notice that additional terms apply.
