In Germany, bounties are relatively strictly regulated by law in terms of what you may and may not do etc.
Therefore, if the bounty itself was valid in the sense of the law, then - AFAIK - there's an obligation to pay up.
- readerrr 12y agoAbsence of a legal contract for such cases exposes a website to abuse. I refuse to believe that a text posted publicly is subject to the same standards as a real contract.
- th0br0 12y agoAs rostigerpudel stated, the biologist confirmed the bounty in writing. Anyhow, while IANAL, bounties are regulated by German law in (among others) BGB §657-661a. Mostly §661 and §661a. You can find a translation of those paragraphs here: http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_bgb/englisch_bgb.html#p2878 http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_bgb/englisch_bgb....
- rostigerpudel 12y agoThanks for pointing those out. I never noticed them before.
