I agree. It just seems wrong to say your price will go up by an unknown amount and you've got no choice but to suck it up.
I think the best option is to agree the price and stick to it for the duration of the contract. If companies can't estimate their costs 18 month in the future then the simple answer is don't offer 18 month contracts.
Could you imagine the uproar if the price of your house or car insurance increased in price mid contract?
