any extremely long contract with obtuse terms is designed to screw you in some way. you just wont know until you get there, unless you are willing to spend 10-20k on lawyers to argue the terms


This is not true. There's plenty super friendly contracts that just happened to be written by lawyers who are into legalese maximizing. I can imagine that someone trying to screw you over might use obtuse terms to hide that, but the reverse isn't always true. Sometimes things are just obtuse for stupid reasons.


in my experience it is 100% true, every contract i have seen with over legalese is created by people who expect to be acting on those terms
