The beauty of running to ‘industry standard’ T&Cs – whether RHA, FTA, DA, etc – is that you’re fairly well protected from the ramifications of the Unfair Contract Terms Act. Odd ‘get out’ clauses in ‘home-brew’ T&Cs can be overturned very easily in court but if you operate to industry standard conditions, the very fact that they ARE industry standard is a good basis for a defence.
None of which is likely to help you if you deal with the general public of course…
