Have you not seen what happens on Silicon Valley :)

That show also featured files somehow getting deleted by the remote party as they were being uploaded via FTP, and an enormous porn network apparently having no backups. I wouldn't take things on that show as an accurate description of the technical/legal underpinnings of the world.

But it still seems like a terrible idea.

Didn't they get away with it because the contract was illegal to begin with?

Most real-world contracts have a clause saying "if any part of this contract is ruled invalid, the rest stays in effect."
