CMV: terms and conditions should be simplified for the consumer

Most products/services involve endless paragraphs of legal jargon and terminology which simply cannot be described as accessible for the average consumer hence, as many surveys on the matter suggest, most consumers skim read or do not acknowledge, to any extent, said T&C's despite their acceptance of them. Allowing T&C's to be simplified would allow consumers to make better informed choices before engaging in any contractual relationship. Consumers should be able to ascertain the fundamental principles that establish a contract with ease.

EDIT: I'm not suggesting the removal of the current T&C's (they should be maintained for valid reasons that comments below explain) but rather a supplementary version alongside for ordinary consumers (in that the event or pursuit of any legal challenge is unlikely) that covers the essentials of a contractual relationship.

T&Cs aren't for the customer, they are for the business. The vast majority of users aren't going to even need to look at the T&Cs because they won't run into legal issues with it. Companies don't expect their customers to read the whole thing because they know this and know people will buy the product regardless of the length of the contract.

These contracts exist precisely for the users that would take advantage of a "simple" T&C. Most people don't care about reading it. Someone who was looking to make money from a foresight in the document would. A simple T&C policy would need added liability protections for businesses for issues not covered because they had a word count limit or whatever. The only reason they are this long is because people will take advantage of contracts that don't explicitly state everything they need to in a legal battle.
