Web contracts are an abomination. They are non-negatiable and are foisted on people who have no ability to obtain proper legal counsel. The cost for a qualified IP contract attorney to do an adequate document review of this document and explain its consequences to a typical member of the public that it is imposed upon would be more than $1000 per review. That would be necessary to enable informed signing.
We need laws getting this under control. These contracts should not be binding. The consumer side has no chance of understanding them even when they do read the documents. That means there is no real consent and no real moral contract. If companies insist on these extremely complex contracts for routine transactions, the companies should pay the full cost of legal representation for the other party.
