ask for simple english contract ... read it, if you don't understand something ask what it means ... ask why they didn't write that complicated part in simple english ... ask for annotated contract

if they're more than 5 employees they'll be able to explain stuff because they do it all the time ...

unless you're an intern they'll also ought to be willing to write these explanations down / annotate the contract

nobody likes surprise contracts
