Is there a good design for terms and conditions

More of a shower thought really, but I have noticed the terms and conditions for generally any website or any form or application you interact with or fill in, generally is a wall of text.

The jargon is usually at the top in plain Arial or Times New Roman font with a white background and then the full wall of text comes in.

Sometimes people put bold headings and italicised jargon words but overall its like no one puts any effort into actually making the Terms and Conditions actually nice to read.

And some times this can bite you in the butt if you missed a certain clause and/or refunds are withheld from you or maintenance service is denied because section C64-118 says you voided your warranty by signing in...etc.

As a consumer of various products, I find it would be particularly helpful if the terms and conditions were easy to read and understand...in fact, actually better than easy to read, why don't people make it memorable?

I have seen some interesting approaches to this, like some websites might offer a "so basically this is what has changed in our TCs" summary of what they have changed. But overall, I haven't really come across a really nice set of terms and conditions that I understood the basic gist of what I was allowed to do and not do.

My question is:

Has there ever been a really nice approach or design to Terms and Conditions?
