And then $21.95 every month for the rest of your life? I seriously doubt
that such an open-ended contract is enforceable anywhere.

What terms and conditions? If you aren't allowed to see them (I poked
around a little bit and didn't find them) how can they be part of the
sales contract?
Wasn't it a Steve Martin movie that illustrated the "Substantial
Penalty for Early Withdrawal" clause? IIRC the depositor was given
a blindfold and shot...
