Yet it is.
When you attend a wedding, you have absolutely no say in the venue. Yes, the bride and groom may have agreed to the terms, but the attendees did not have a choice.
So if they get shitty service and want to post a review about it online, they find out doing so will cost the bride and groom $500. It might not be clear cut extortion - but it is not an acceptable business practice.
- baddox 12y agoThe attendees did not have a choice on the venue, but they are not bound to any contract and do not get fined if they post reviews.
- chrisbennet 12y agoRead it more closely and you will see that, yes, the guest will not get fined, but the bride and groom will have $500 per bad review removed from their deposit.
- zaphar 12y agoThat's like saying it's not extortion if I threaten your friend unless you do what I say. The Bride and Groom are threatened with a fine unless their attendees do what the hotel says.
- baddox 12y agoThat's not at all analogous. The bride and groom are "threatened" because they're the ones that signed the contract.
- zaphar 12y agoThe legality of the contract is up in the air. Just because I sign a contract saying I agree to pay $1 everytime someone I know says something unkind to anyone doesn't mean the contract is enforceable. Besides I don't think the he meant extortion in the legal sense but more the moral sense.
