A good practical idea. I would check into whether the "if/then" creates a case of extortion. (I don't know the answer but it pops into my mind). That said, even if does (and this is really important although legal opinions might vary) did legally create a possible problem you still have to weigh the chance that the person on the other side is going to pursue that angle or just pay up. [1] I make this point because there are plenty of things that you do in business that aren't 100% defensible but in the end they work and you move on (after taking your chances). [1] Based upon my many years in business taking chances with things quit frequently. After all people bungie jump, sky dive and do extreme sports because of their judgement that the gain is work the risk.
