Except that "loopholes" &c are the "skill and tactics" of contracts & bargains.

Not "fair" but also not "cheating."

 That depends on whether you understand what not fair means up front...  Holding back information on contracts is cheating...

Conspiracy Theorist:
Nope it’s up to you to do your due diligence.

Actively hiding information, preventing the other party from finding it... that'd be cheating.

As CT says, though, mortals mostly just don't "do their due diligence."
Faeries mostly *do.*

But for comparison:  look how often early-book Harry outmaneuvers Toot, binding him to service.  Usually it was played for laughs, but more-or-less exactly the same kind of unfair bargaining Harry got into with Mab, but it usually went the other way, with Harry being the one outmaneuvered.

Conspiracy Theorist:
A Faerie would read the Apple Terms of Service before agreeing to them.
