That's a bit of a word game. Such games are the problem of ontologies. A service can offer to negotiate with an agent for a best price and the service can provide a BAFO (Best and Final Offer). That is what "terms and conditions" means and why you want the agent to negotiate on your behalf. Otherwise, catalog-based business is about as good as B2C gets. B2B is Ts&Cs. They are not on the "same playing field". We seldom are in business this side of Burger King. Write an ontology for buying a used car. If you can't "deal", you don't buy.

The concept of an "agent" implies something more individual. While we all exist on the same playing field, I might have the capability of giving "my" agent "my" instructions.
