    Read it closer... especially the last few lines.

    They guarantee nothing, save that you get a bill.

    Oh, and if you sue them, YOU pay the lawyer fees regardless of whether you win or lose.

    Copy 'n pasted from the Second Example: (Caps and all...)
    FINALLY, YOU AGREE TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS AT&T AND THIRD PARTIES WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THE AT&T WORLDNET HIGH SPEED SERVICE FROM ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR COST (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS' FEES) RESULTING FROM YOUR VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTIVITY RELATED TO YOUR AT&T WORLDNET HIGH SPEED ACCOUNT.

    In the first two examples, read "You're Responsible" REAL closely.
