It's too much to expect users to read all the agreements they sign with a fine tooth comb. If we were to do that then we would also expect business transactions to slow down considerably. That is why there are laws against egregious hidden clauses in contracts. There are also cases you can make when it's clear both sides had differing understandings of the terms of a contract regardless of what they actually signed on paper. In other words, there are legal grounds for this guy to sue based on misrepresentation of contract terms.
- tofof 8y agoI fully agree with your assessment. Note that I characterized KitSplit's actions as a clear violation of criminal law, if they had ocurred in my state. Certainly if KitSplit is criminally liable, there's also a sound civil case against them. But without the record that he had but didn't keep of the assurance he was given that illustrates what the "understandings of the terms" were, he won't get past first base.
