Earlier quoted context omitted.
When we raised money from several VCs (using some of the top legal firms in silicon valley and NYC) all we had to sign was the very last page which had only the signature lines on it. It could have been attached to anything. And in fact, sometimes, they emailed us the signature page separately for us to sign, scan and send back. So I don't really think there is really much legal benefit to having stuff on every page…
Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean there isn't a legal benefit. A paper contract must be done in two copies. Every page numbered and signed by both parties. That's the only way to cover your ass against the other party replacing pages and terms.
No one does that for large contracts. We would have had to sign over 1,200 pages.
