Haha... usually you can't read the contract (if you ever do) before 
purchasing the item and opening the box and the documentation.
In Europe we had many  of cases where the vendors lost their trials since 
vendors' laws did not coincide with common laws and regulations. These 
vendors were mostly non-European companies.
On of the latest and costliest trials has cost Microsoft around 500 million 
dollars or Euros. Can't remember what it was all about...
