I used to chat with Rob, the owner quite often, but I haven't done so recently. I haven't heard anything bad about them. They've been around for about 5 years--at least. Other than that, they have good site traffic, but I have no idea what their sales are like.

FYI, the contract link prompts Avast! to give a "image links to malicious site" warning.

As for the duration, it's standard for commercial publishers, who of course want an extended period to get the most sales out of a book -- but such clauses are properly matched with another clause along the lines of "contract ends when sales fall below X number per Y period", which I'm not seeing here.

Clicked on their submissions button and got a warning about malware, so four months after Caopaux's message, the problem persists.
