That's also valuable input to the ongoing work I've been doing on the 
iniquities of B2C terms and privacy policies, thanks Eric.  Most 
recently:

     B2C Distrust Factors in the Prosumer Era

my neighborhood.

You could always run the new terms against:

     A Normative Template for Marketer-Prosumer Communications
     http://www.anu.edu.au/people/Roger.Clarke/EC/Collecter08.html#AppA

And the new privacy policy against:

     Privacy Statement Template

Alternatively, please feel free to post the above suggestion to any 
other fora in which this is being discussed.
