That last part isn't necessarily bad. There could be an honest mistake in a contract both parties are otherwise fine with. As for the rest... I'm so glad I emigrated.

    The last part is always bad, even if theoretically it may not be. When you have a hundred to a thousand terms and conditions being pushed on you for a near immediate signature, that's because they can add that one part being illegal doesn't make the rest unenforceable, and now instead of a single page of terms we have a hundred.

    There is a reason the Courts made that rule of disqualifying the entire contract of such contracts if one part was illegal, and they have rules and tests for when that applies too in such cases to prevent any legitimate mistakes from cancelling an entire contract.
