Assuming you don't mean that as a threat to me or anyone else posting here on HN about your product ... lawyers are not caged dogs to unleashed at people who displease you. Even the most expensive of them will not fight a lost cause, one that might humiliate them in the eyes of other lawyers. Not for a corporate tech client. This isn't a typo or other laughable but forgivable error. This is contracts 101 stuff.
And statements made online about this contract language would probably come up in subsequent cases. The fact that the CEO thinks the language unenforceable, and by implication therefore never intended to enforce it, will not help you should this ever be before a judge.
- crhulls 4y agoTo be clear, what I am saying is it is NOT clear how enforceable it would be vs saying we know it is not enforceable. Our terms also specify we can only collect after a criminal conviction. The press writeup did not go into detail. We've thought this through quite a bit, and it is in a grey area.
