Most companies is very strict about their contracts but very often they are not worth the piece of paper they are written on.

We have ourself had to write off 6 digits sums in the past due to word games in contracts. A contract/tos give you something to challenge, it doesn't protect you
thats why lawyers have insurance and thats why one should use them..

if you lost a case in court due to the wrong interpretation by your lawyer(s) then you can sue your lawyer..

i would be interested in hearing more about your case where you had to pay 6 figures..

did your lawyer suck or was their lawyer that much better?

or did you make the mistake of relying on people with no legal training to interpret the contract?
