They have no responsibility ...Basically if you are expecting ANY material benefit from asking the other party for advice/their take when considering a contract you are a little more than drooling on your shoes.

Sure they do, if you're tricked its called fraud. Even if you're not tricked, it doesn't make everything you sign binding (see non-competes).

At the very least you get a feel for what type of business you're dealing with.

Then you thank them for their time, and go and consult your lawyer if you really feel you want to work for dicks.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
