Contracts are power stuff that overrides most things. If you agree to something then people, and courts, will hold you to it.

I expect it is in the agreement they require you to use before you join Etsy.

Contracts aren't as powerful as you think. Lots of people are signed up to unlawful contracts (NDAs being a prime example).

The threat of a contract is powerful though, because to challenge it you have to go through courts, and a company like test had far deeer pockets than you do.
