Completely understandable, within their rights, and highly symbolic. With so many Ukranian employees, what else would the CEO do? Sadly, though, it's just another punitive act that will hurt more people than it will help. Not clear that doing something is always better than doing nothing, even in war. Whatever you do should make things better. If not, keep thinking about what you can do that will actually make a positive difference.
- born2discover 5y agoUnderstandable yes. But within their rights? I doubt so. Contracts are binding for both parties (client and the company). What they are doing here is an intentional breach of contract. Depending on the jurisdiction it can have nasty legal ramifications.
- possiblydrunk 5y agoThanks. Didn't know that. Just assumed that most tech companies' TOS includes a line reserving the right to terminate service at their sole discretion.
- nojonestownpls 5y agoTerms of Service aren't necessarily legally binding - it's up to the judges to decide how much validity to give to them. Here, given they're offering refunds (and it's likely an American court that would theoretically handle this anyway), it's unlikely to have any serious consequences to the company (in legal terms).
