Um, no, the print shouldn't be fine, and information that would affect 
your choice should be presented in clear terms, not legalese.

And if you don't investigate the circumstances in which your fuel tank 
might explode, that's your own fault too?  No, wrong -- it's the 
provider's responsibility to ensure that their terms and restrictions of 
service are clearly understood.

Because the typical consumer only has been presented with wnough 
information to believe thay can have (a) all of their mail delivered, 
spam and all, delivered, or (b) all of their real mail delivered no 
matter how and where it originates, and all of their spam and viruses 
blocked.  Of course they'll choose (b) -- even though that's not what 
they'll get, and they won't discover that unless they read page 14, 
paragraph 47(b)(iii).
