I'd just like to say I think it definitely can apply, because we have it in here, but you may want to have a look at, for example, New Zealand's law, which refers to the term of consent that can reasonably be inferred--so whether we're talking about inferred or complied...the conduct in a business and other relationships of persons concerned. It has a more open and flexible definition, as opposed to 18 months, which in certain circumstances may or may not appear to be arbitrary. There are other laws that do provide slightly more flexible language to imply an inferred or deemed consent.
