Are the terms of service for Yahoo UK enforcable?
If you go to the relevant web page and click on the link for 'UK & Ireland' then you just get the Yahoo home page - which is where they send you whenever one of their links is broken.
I reported the dead link 4 months ago, but Yahoo have ignored it:

Some idiot moved the question from Law & Ethics to Yahoo Answers, so I moved it back.
I was not asking about how Yahoo Answers works; I want information from someone who knows about how the law works.
When I opened an account with Yahoo many years ago I agreed with their terms, but I do not remember the details, besides which they may have been amended since then. It may well be - as Whizz has said - that they regard the US terms as applying to the UK, but they claim otherwise on this web page:-
https://yahoo.uservoice.com/tos
So . . . is anyone in the UK legally bound to accept the terms of service when there does not seem to be any way to find out what they are?
I have tried to email them; I asked questions here; I posted to User Voice - but Yahoo have declined to answer.
EDIT:
Even though I was very clear that I wanted legal information, someone has, through stupidity or malice, again moved the question to "Yahoo Answers"

The same Terms of Service do apply.
The link is not broken it just isn't an active site now.
Even using the UK email they all go to the US team now.
This was all part of the lumping everything together even with the questions and answers taking away the option for UK questions only.
Essentially there is no seperate UK team now.
