The LA-assignment thread II: Where The Em Dash Doesn't Exist

Yeah, but the idea of getting out of an infernal contract because the fiend forgot to waterproof it first is hilarious.

I'll give you that.

On the flip side ... if the fiend has forgotten to waterproof the contract, they probably aren't going to be able to give you much.
That, or they're so incompetent that they've given you more than they intended, or otherwise did such a bad job locking the terms of the deal down and closing loopholes you could use, that you wouldn't want to get out of the deal, because they left loopholes you could throw a colossus through that you're taking advantages.
I'd sooner bet on the former, rather than the latter, myself.
Although, the latter could lead to an interesting campaign - some politically connected yet incompetent fiend has screwed up making pacts, and the party is directed to fix things, and then cover it all up, by a higher ranking fiend (or expose the matter or otherwise use the situation to their own advantage.

I actually pity the hypothetical fiend more than the warlock in these situations.
