This is such crap. If they really were committed to making things right in the event of a problem, they wouldn't have to fear being sued.

I mean, even if you have the best of intentions, it's still nice to have all the cards stacked in your favor for your own protection.

It is, but that doesn't make it nice to put unreasonable conditions in a contract. If I put a clause in a contract saying I'm allowed to kill you if I get annoyed with you, while promising that I definitely won't kill you and I'm just trying to cover my bases, I don't think that would go over too well.
