The website attached to the store is astoundingly corporate. For example, it contains a long and clearly custom-written TOS with classic gems like this: "Our site must not be framed on any other site, nor may you create a link to any part of our site other than the home page."

That's just a copy paste from someone else's TOS.

To be fair I saw it at a Banksy exhibition where Picasso was crossed out and replaced with Banksy.
