Unless the contract is being handed to you by a lawyer who wrote it to specifically apply to your individual situation/agreement, it's all just boilerplate. Heck, even if a lawyer is giving it to you there's a 50/50 chance he or she just copied the boilerplate and changed the names.

I found you through Miss Thrifty's post. I thought I'd say hi and introduce myself before commenting since I'm new to blogging and hadn't commented before, so hi! Anyway, I'm glad you were reading the fine print. It is so easy to just sign on the dotted line, and it is admirable to look into things more closely! Hey Funny!
