I'm not sure how similar law is over the pond but in English and Scots law, if a contract has any particularly onerous clauses in it, the party drafting the contract must draw attention to them (Lord Denning described it as pointing to them with "a big red hand"). It's especially so if the clause isn't usual business practice in that field and if the other party isn't experienced in that business. A good contract lawyer probably could tear this to shreds.
