alt Hacker NewsNot if your contractor had you first sign a 15 page contract that commits you to whatever costs they dream up and requires forced arbitration by a corporate friendly firm when any dispute arises.
Because that's somehow normal in today's tech world.

So if their TOS say they can also rape my cat, then I cannot do anything about it, right? Ridiculous

Slightly OT, but I've always taken a dim view of this sort of thing for consumers because the parties are never at equal parity, either in ability to understand the legalese they're agreeing to, or the ability to seek alternatives.
Legal contracts for consumers should be written at whatever the prevailing reading level is, and the government should step in the more monopolistic position a company is in.
It infuriates me to no end how preferential government is towards corporations vs individuals.
