> The less cynical interpretation is "someone threw up a website, and the standard procedure within the company for throwing up a website is to include a link to these boilerplate terms of service."
As somebody who has been building websites for living and worked with corporate clients, this is about 99% likely to be true IMHO. Unless they run an extremely efficient legal department with lawyer equivalents of Superman working there, it just doesn't happen that new and specifically case-targeted TOS appears that fast, especially in a large corporation environment. "Just toss a standard link there, nobody reads it anyway", OTOH, happens all the time.
