I know it doesnt help here but I vaguely recall there are rules/laws about fine print. Size, readability, etc. I found this. FTC rules:

A fine-print disclosure at the bottom of a print ad, a disclaimer buried in a body of text unrelated to the claim being qualified, a brief video superscript in a television ad, or a disclaimer that is easily missed on a website are not likely to be effective. Nor can advertisers use fine print to contradict other statements in an ad or to clear up misimpressions that the ad would leave otherwise.

The FTC has and will enforce these rules. In 2009, it fined a web company for placing a fine-print disclosure at the bottom of the screen. Consumers were able to complete the transaction without ever having noticed it
