UK law prohibits unfair contract terms. Terms that are deliberately
vague and imprecise could easily be considered unfair and, as such,
illegal.

a **** load of assumptions there;

1) that they are *deliberately* vague and imprecise....that would take a lot
of proving, if only because millions have signed them and no one has taken
SKy to court so far (AFAIK) so very few people have considered them
imprecise.

Few people complained about slavery and the way the British government
controlled the opium trade. That doesn't make either any less true.
99% of people never complain about anything, as is well known.

I find it hard to imagine that anyone could be so incompetent as to
create such imprecise contract terms by accident.


2) That that is illegal to be deliberately vague.
3) That that aspect of the ts&Cs themselves, are unfair. They could be
vague but not unfair.
4) That that is illegal, rather than null and void.

IANAL but AIUI, unfair ts&Cs are not 'illegal' they are simply invalid and
dont apply. Its as if they werent there at all.

I refer you to the Fair Trading Act and the Unfair Contract Terms Act.
