[QUOTE="Corjay, post: 4415580, member: 52839"] This is where my knowledge of contracts becomes limited. I haven't taken the time to research how such changes work. I know there are definite limits to the liability of the licensee in a contract change, but I can't be sure regarding what other changes are allowed. What you say is certainly reasonable. Correct. But 11.1 gives WOTC the right to terminate for any reason, which can cost a company significant losses as they have to destroy their GSL product. I doubt that a court would enforce that, but in this case, I wouldn't put it past a court to do so. I believe you're running with my words (taking them out of context) instead of trying to understand the context of my words. My point was, unless it is proved or they admit fault, the licensee has no obligation contractually or otherwise to pay WOTC's legal fees. Don't take my word as gospel. Yes, I am confident I know a lot more about contract law than some posting here based on personal experience and learning, but I am not a lawyer. No one in this thread should base their business decisions upon my word. My statements can't be defined as anything more than my own arrogance, but I will stand by my words regarding contracts 100%, but that doesn't mean every statement I make is flawless. While most of my words might be essentially correct, there could be caveats in law that I'm not familiar with. I don't discount that possibility. Until someone mentions such a caveat, I will continue to post as certain of my words. [/QUOTE]
