Actually.... Terms and conditions are complex and in the USA, states generally follow the UCC, the Uniform Commercial Code, which generally harmonizes all the different laws into one that is complex, but can be used across state borders and one that lawyers recognize across the USA. So, complex terms and conditions are that way partly because of the many slightly different state (and international laws).
