I know in Illinois the consumer protections are such that if the customer had a reasonable
belief that he was purchasing something but the fine print contradicted that, then the
shopkeep would have to very explicitly make sure that the consumer understood the fine print,
or risk having the sale be declared fraudulent. 

FWIU Illinois has uncommonly strong consumer protection laws, but other states are trending
towards similar statutes.
