Hasn't this been corrected?

Not that I'm aware of - which wiki are you looking at, I'm looking at the page on wikimania2013.wikimedia.org which uses the default language, I think it may be custom fixed on enwiki though.

I think it should be "terms of use" because it's in the middle of a sentence and there's no need to capitalize a common noun, as I see it.

There's a default version and then local wikis can customize the message. For example, compare [[MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning]] and [[wmf:MediaWiki:Wikimedia-copyrightwarning]].

Legal response was either capitalisation (between Terms of use and Terms of Use) is acceptable, but preference to "Terms of Use" as it is a proper noun.
