I wish more people would push back on these kinds of open-ended vague clauses in consumer agreements. When I represent big clients in arms-length negotiations, I usually take the position that my client will comply with laws – no more, no less. That leaves the definition of what is "objectionable" up to the (in theory, objective) standards of the law.
- CGamesPlay 15y agoWhich laws? In Internet-related cases, this is often ambiguous.
- sunchild 15y agoThere isn't anything special about the Internet in this context. Lots of laws are ambiguous. That's why, in the common law system, we have courts and precedent. You missed my point: either the standard is the law, or it's "we'll let you know when we have a problem with what you're doing".
- pavel_lishin 15y agoI think he may have meant, "whose laws"? If you and your client are both in the United States, and your client only has customers in the United States, that's clear. But that's also rare.
- sunchild 15y agoAgain, it doesn't really matter. Most countries have laws and respect the rule of law. Same principle applies, except places where the rule of law doesn't hold.
