    Yeah I go through all the contracts and paperwork and I am never wild about any of them but this is one of two types of things I refused to sign despite losing a fair sum with them. I totally get people signing them though as its a tough loss to deal with. There needs to be laws around reasonableness of contracts.

      At least in the EU there are rules about contracts and how they need to be understandable. Companies are not allowed to just hire a lawyer who’s going to latinize everything simply to make it as impenetrable as possible.

      Of course lawyers still use 16 words where one would do but it results in documents that are more rambly than incomprehensible.
