People should stop agreeing to these. You already went through the interview process, already given an offer. Companies aren't going to rescind the offer because you strike out this line from the employment contract. Just like you negotiate salary, you negotiate the agreement, striking out that part in the contract.

  You don't ask legal to wave the policy, you remove the offending terms and hand back the revised version of the contract.

    That's usually not how it works with employment contracts, especially at big software companies. I'm fairly certain this was given to the candidate using something like Digisign, which can be configured to not allow revisions from the signer.

    Not once did I have an opportunity to do that. DocuSign and its ilk take care of that.

They will rescind the offer. Most of the time, negotiating contract is way more difficult than salary.
