> Judges are not totally capricious people making arbitrary decisions: the notion that in a dispute they would just cast aside one party's _clear and well documented intent_ to narrow the scope of the burden they place on another is... well, it doesn't seem all that credible to me.
My (non-lawyer) experience tells me the same, judges don't like people who try to argue one thing to a judge while clearly documenting on their website the opposite isn't going to go well, but as others pointed out that doesn't make it a smart choice to depend on, or that corporate lawyers will agree is worth the risk.
- jrumbut 6y agoIt raises question of how binding is publishing an FAQ? If I sent them an email with that question and they sent me an answer, if they tried to sue me over the issue that email will be a significant piece of evidence in my favor (I imagine). But what if they only sent me a link to the FAQ or I just silently relied on it to be accurate?
