The trouble I see with alternatives is the legalese, every one of which forces you to indemnify the vendor. What indemnification really means is: "If a third party sues the vendor for anything alleged to involve your use of the service, you pay all legal fees and damages for the vendor". A lot of them go on to say that the vendor will determine the legal strategy, which could be as simple as "give him $200K to get him off our backs", in which case, whoops, there goes the house. The less of these I participate in, the better I like it. I spoze we've all signed one for Google, so that might be the way to go: No new indemnifications that way.
