I've reviewed a lot of EULAs, TOUs, T&Cs*, etc. in my time at Microsoft and can almost understand them even though I'm not an attorney (nor do I play one on TV.) While I mentally summarize each section, I wish I had thought of just spelling it out in the document. I love the simplicity and clarity (and cheek) of the MOG.com TOU.
Here's a little example:
A few other summary lines I liked:
MOG is about personal use, not your making a buck
...
MOG needs money to survive
...
MOG is not your parent
...
MOG is you
...
MOG is all-powerful
...
MOG is powerless
...
Incidentally, MOG looks pretty cool.
* EULA == End User License Agreement, TOU == Terms of Use, T&C == Terms and Conditions
