So, I get that you’re downvoting and contradicting, but are you sure we don’t agree? Let’s put it this way: I was observing precisely what you copied and pasted: this is a perfectly valid way to write a contract if you subsequently want to be able to argue either side.
Was zoom careful to be sure any usage can’t be read as merely describing future events? Will ambiguity exist until this agreement is tested ?
- lolinder 3y agoGiven that they use "Zoom will" 21 times in the document to clearly refer to their obligations—including 4 times in the paragraph entitled "10.5 Our Obligations Over Your Customer Content"—I seriously doubt they're counting on or will get points for any ambiguity. Meanwhile not once do they use "Zoom shall". It's pretty clearly just a stylistic choice and not anything sneaky. Edit: They even use "will" in the all-important phrase "you will pay Zoom". Surely you don't think they meant to be sneaky in that usage, and that is merely meant as a prediction of future events?
- singleshot_ 3y agoI stand corrected. I suppose reading the contract instead of snarking might have allowed me to avoid the embarrassment. Thank you.
- lolinder 3y agoThanks for responding graciously!
