Can I refer you to my comment above or do you want me to repeat it.

Exactly how many people do you know outside experienced contractors actually get contracts checked. And even most of us care about a limited subsection of the contract relating to ir35

But they can read, and they are supposed to be a bit intelligent.

Who signs anything without at least skimming the document first? Not reading it is just gross stupidity and negligence.
