That's true, but it's also true of mortgages, leases (usually), employment contracts (often), contracts for the provision of internet services...and many other contracts. It's pretty much par for the course when you deal with any large corporation - which is unavoidable, as they tend to have money, property, or services that people want.

(I am really surprised that the contract included some sort of reference to computers - that seems very far-sighted for the punch card days of 1971. )
