Does it not strike anyone that the use of the word "bid" implies something?

Amazon is selling a service that could quite easily use terms such as "threshold", "limit" or many other terms that promote "control" for business. They choose instead to use the word "bid".

It's far too easy to see Amazon changing the terms and conditions to capitalise on legal definitions of the word "bid". It's all too easy for them to ensure companies are competing for its services (to their profit) and for no-one to have a leg to stand on in court because of the wording...

Am I rightly pessimistic?
