I am not an expert, you are strongly advised to take legal advice in your own jurisdiction. You need to have a lawyer review all the text on your website not just the terms and conditions as it all forms part of the ‘invitation to treat’ and you can be held to it in court.[0] In the UK the caselaw suggests that more prominent text takes precedence over hidden terms and conditions. So if you say one thing prominently in your advert and other in your terms you could be held to the terms implied by the ad not your T&C. The UK caselaw precedent is old enough that it likely applies in other English speaking common law jurisdictions like Australia, New Zealand etc. It would not surprise me if there is a similar precedent in the US.
