[QUOTE="Ulorian - Agent of Chaos, post: 9241764, member: 16668"] Well, I'm not a lawyer either. Not going to formulate an opinion based on air! And by air, I mean my opinion. I understand that. But I also understand that any agreement entered into which states 'this will never change, regardless of whatever future circumstances arise' is a trap. If you agreed to this, you did so foolishly.

If you, as the creator of the contract, stipulate this, be prepared to have this challenged in the future as well. If you put blinders on, that's on you.
