Do you actually read and understand EVERYTHING in the contract before signing before you sign it?

A couple of years ago, we were organising a flea market and I was asked to look at the contract the Committee had used for the previous flea market.

The contract had been so badly worded that it technically forbade any of the stallholders to display or sell anything at their stalls. It was supposed to be that the stallholders are not to display or sell any pirated goods.

I was aghast to learn that despite the terms and conditions in the contract, people actually signed it.

If anyone wanted to enforce that badly worded signed contracts after rent was collected, it was legal to do so.

So in future, read with your eyes, your mind and be alert.
