> This sounds extremely bad at a glance (and we certainly had a moment of panic after first reading it), but now that we have done our homework and talked to a lawyer, we are no longer concerned. This is something I've learned by now in the corporate and contract world. Companies and lawyers tend to bluff and fish first. If you have beef with another party and they have a lawyer send you a letter, you will most likely be threatened with everything theoretically possible. Everything will always be jail time, millions of dollars, years you cannot work on this, and you have to give away your favorite potted plant as well. In many, many cases, /any/ pushback from (even seemingly) legal support reduces this to more reasonable terms. Even just a confirmation of receipt from a lawyer results in interesting reactions.
