0 "Terms and Conditions apply" means they apply, i.e. are in effect. 02br

00 "Terms and Conditions appli01b00ed02b00" may mean they applied in the past, which would be wrong. Or it may mean an ellipsis on "Terms and Conditions 01b00are02b00 applied," which doesn't sound so bad. Anyway, this would generate a confusion. 02b

"Terms and conditions applied" can be either:

- past tense, meaning it applied once, now it no longer does (not what you should say); or

- passive form, short for "Terms and conditions are applied", which means terms and conditions are put into use (not quite the right way to say it, altho
