What makes a free-trial offer "legit" to you?

With the uproar and lawsuits over all the flogs, bizopps, Oprah-anything fallout, alot of WF members have mentioned that they wouldn't promote "scam" rebill offers (at least not anymore).
So, if you were deciding to promote a CPA/rebill offer on a product, what would you want to see that would make it "legit" in your eyes? If the merchant posts nonexistent or tiny font "terms& Conditions" at the bottom, or makes the customer get RMA's, ship back the product, doesn't answer the phones etc, all of those things piss off customers, but they do work in cutting down returns and cancels (at least until an AG or FTC shows up) which equals higher CPAs to affiliates.
Knowing all this, would you be more willing to promote a product that has T&C clearly posted, allows people off rebill without a hassle, etc, even if you knew it was probably going to cut into your conversions/profits? What steps would you like to see the offers you promote take to be less "scammy" (like acai-Oprah-flogs) and more "legit (like Netflix), even if they cost you some short-term profit?
 


For me its a quality of product issue.

Netflix etc. I feel more comfortable with knowing that in the end the user will "probably" be happy with the service (havent used it so cant really say)

but the whole Acai Berry thing just never jived with me well enough to feel comfortable promoting, especially hearing how ppl were getting dicked around when they went to cancel and kept getting billed! (havent to go through their CC companies to get it to stop)
 
-product is quality
-actually ship product
-charge consumer cards as stated per terms
-actually give refunds
-terms are clearly stated at checkout in prominent view
-no forced upsells that are rebills
