Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you read the small print when you signed for your latest mobile phone contract? No, I didn't think so. When you come to sign contracts of this sort, you soon realise that there is very little negotiation, and you know very little about the contents of the contract. This book explores the implications of standard form contracts, and how their current structure leaves consumers very much in the dark about the terms. This book also explores how the Internet has contributed to complicating these contentious issues, and what possible solutions could be implemented in order to protect consumer rights.
