Please eliminate the all-caps paragraphs. If you want to ensure people don't read something, put it in all-caps. Assuming your intent is the opposite (you actually want people to read those passages), try introducing them with a heading in boldface like Read this, it is important. (But don't boldface the entire paragraph; that's nearly as bad as all-caps.)

That's common, boilerplate convention for specific comments. Certain areas of the terms, which is a form of contract, has to be conspicuous. The most common way is all caps. It doesn't have to be caps but it has to stand out in the reading, that is the legal guidelines.

It is a common, boilerplate convention, but that doesn't make it good practice (and there are no official "legal guidelines" on this).
