Liquidated damages has NOTHING to do with bargaining power,

Sure it does. If you and I negotiate a contact, and you say, I demand a liquidated damage clause which says whatever, and I say to you (because you have no bargaining power over me in the negotiations) remove it. You say no, and I say, sorry no contract. Now if you want the contract, you will remove it.

Maybe, maybe not. I could have used any area of the law, my comment was not limited to maritime law. How about Sports Contracts between players and teams, are they the same, too?

if you understand when and how liquidated damages clauses are used, which I am happy to explain again if you'd like me to.

And YES, I know when such clauses are used. This is a perfect case.

Again, not looking for your free legal advice. There is a CRO contract and unless you read it, your speculation (which is what it is) is irrelevant. Let the CRO contract speak for itself.
