This is by no means uncommon. Don't think people working for tech companies know the EULAs for their products very well either. It's not something staff are encouraged to learn about either. Staff are given their procedures and that's that.

The last thing you want is your frontline staff thinking they're experts on your legal agreements and then get dragged into legal arguments with customers (who could be trained lawyers).
