Although I generally dont like to give free exposure to someone who I do not know or endorse, since it's been a subject here I will reveal who I looked at and who insipired this thread.

See section 7 and 11 and tell me why anyone in their right mind would agree to it:

I gotta agree. One glaring problem is that if they even "feel" their "terms" have been violated, you are kinda fucked.
I have no idea where these folks reside, but it is reminiscent of the kind of shit eastern europeans try out. It happened to me earlier this year when a Prague firm experienced the full weight and power of the a very substantial American Express chargeback....which I knew was in my hip pocket if they continued their bad behaviour.
