same as you can refuse to accept a particular method of payment if you wish to, or if selling something you can chose who you sell to.

It's called freedom of choice and if you chose to use it, then by doing so, you agree to abide by their terms.
Why be insulting to put your point across? Does it help?

I think it's not so clear cut for companies to weasel out of headline commitments about protecting you AFTER taking your money and then hiding behind buried terms and conditions.

Recent court-rulings would seem to back this up and some people's claims on here about PayPal paying out might support that PayPal themselves aren't 100% sure of their ground either.

I think if I was left considerably out of pocket I'd be very much testing the water here.
