I don't know about US (where do you live, anyway?). And IANAL.
But in UK and Israel, IF you sign an unfair contract, you are
STILL liable to act according to it, and if you don't, the
company who signed the contract with you may sue you. You CAN
countersue them for unfair contract, but then it becomes the
matter of who sues more money out of the rival. So IF you want
to breach the contract, you SHOULD sue them first. Or to avoid
signing the contract in first place, but you should be really
careful. And consult your lawyer for details before signing the
contract (you all have personal lawyers, don't you?;). All this
should be taken with care. Again, IANAL.

Always. Not only when disclaimers are the issue. Rule #1: don't
sign anything unfair.
