• interpreting the statute’s prohibition on seeking or accepting “other consideration” as a condition of admission to apply to conduct “akin to charging an additional fee”
• distinguishing between failing to read a contract and being precluded from doing so
• “Under Indiana law, a person is presumed to understand and assent to the terms of the contracts he or she signs.”
