There are loads of such contracts - insurances are a good example, 
shrinkwrap licenses are another.

There are specific rules for how unilaterally drafted contracts are 
interpreted under contact law, the reason is of course to protect the 
other, weaker, party who have had no way of influencing the language of 
the deed.
