Online Store and contracts

I am looking into a "ecommerce solution" (gosh that sounds so
professional<grin>) and it is a pretty slick set up, but and this is a big
but, they are requiring that I sign a contract that states I can only do
business with them for the length of this contract.  They are also requiring
financial statements from me.  Is this a common practice?  A year is a
lifetime on the Internet, and I hesitate to become "tied" up like that.  Any
comments, suggestions, and or input?

Thanks much.
