- DoofusOfDeath 8y agoThat's the first I've heard of the CRFA - thanks for mentioning it. I was curious whether or not the CRFA could be overridden by contract terms, but the FTC claims quite the contrary: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/consumer-review-fairness-act-what-businesses-need-know https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/con...
- briandear 8y agoA contract provision that is unlawful can’t be enforced.
- ubernostrum 8y agoI was curious whether or not the CRFA could be overridden by contract terms The whole point of it is to override and render invalid/unenforceable terms which try to forbid posting honest reviews of companies.
- jkaplowitz 8y agoI just looked at the text of the law. As the name suggests, it only applies when an individual is a party to the contract. If a company is the licensee, it wouldn't apply.
