Before everyone panics, does anyone have any lawyer friends who could perhaps drop in here and give their opinion?

Personally I love Poloniex and I would hate to see anything happen to them.

I think it's going to be alright. Poloniex knows what they're doing.

I mean it's quite possible it's as simple as using the right language. Notice Poloniex refers to it only as "Initial Coin Distribution".
