Whenever I come across a thing that contains a "terms of service" or "license agreement", I refuse to read it and make the assumption it says the following things:

> you own nothing

> the company owns everything

> you have no rights

> you promise not to try and exercise any right you think you have

> just in case you ever get it in your silly little head that you do have any rights whatsoever, you agree to binding arbitration with the firm we pay

> you cannot do anything the company doesn't like

> the company can do literally anything it wants whether you like it or not

> the company is not responsible for anything ever

> the company makes absolutely no guarantees about anything

> but you agree to indemnify us in all possible circumstances

That, sadly, is an entirely reasonable take on all this.
