Sorry for your downvotes, but they are earned. Predatory TOS [can be|will be|have been] abused by companies regardless of whether “reasonable people” created them or not.
Imagine your car dealer pushed over a 100pg finance contract with a first paragraph that said “we will take all your property if you miss a payment” but the dealer assured you that “we don’t really do that, it’s just lawyer stuff.” then said “you don’t need to read the rest, just sign here”.
How much of a great person would they have to be, and how much of an optimist would you have to be to sign it without reading the rest?
Ah ha, that explains my downvotes. I am not claiming the hosting provider are reasonable people. I'm referring to the reasonable person standard of contract law.
