"How it applies to United" and the "context as to what I'm talking about" are that the phrase "Terms & Conditions" is mentioned at some point in about 25 percent of the posts in this forum. I was just wondering if one of the words is superfluous or if there is a genuine difference between a term and a condition. I had a vague suspicion that a "term" was the "reward" on offer and that a "condition" was what was required to obtain that reward. However, not being a Law-Talking Guy such as Lionel Hutz, I thought that somebody here might know the precise difference, if any.
