Then under consumer law the seller has an obligation to make that clear in their main message, not just include it in the terms and conditions.

Edit: What it all comes down to is that the terms and conditions are not allowed to contradict the main message. The main message is clearly about buying, with a big fat BUY button. But the terms and consitions contradict that when they say they are not actually selling, just licensing.
