AT THE end of a recent Sunday morning run, my companion disgorged a howl of primal rage into the glorious, blossom-kissed Tokyo sky. He had forgotten, 10 hard kilometres earlier, to hit start on his Strava running app. Our exertions, he mourned, were wasted; the accomplishment hollow; the experience lost like tears in rain.

Between the fine print and legal jargon, it's tempting to just skim through the material and sign. But understanding the policy you're buying is crucial.
