Reading the small print slowly
Terms, refund policies, privacy notices and warranties, read clause by clause so you know what a promise is worth before you rely on it.

Terms-of-service red flags you can spot in five minutes
You do not need to read every word of a seller's terms to learn something useful. A quick, targeted skim for a handful of clauses tells you how the seller thinks about risk, refunds and your rights.
