Subject: Amazon.com corporate account

I was contacted by Amazon.com a couple weeks ago about their corporate 
account offer.  I can set up a corporate account, order items on their web 
site using the account number, and get an invoice at the end of the month.  
There are no fees or payment due date.  This all sounds great but ...

* I need to accept their online disclosure statement and the terms are 
non-negotiable.
* It is scary that anyone who is contacted can set up a corporate account 
right there on the phone.  Who is liable if something goes wrong with the 
account?

Has anyone set up an corporate account with Amazon.com?  How do you handle 
the disclosure statement?  Thank you for your time.
