Dan is right, only a lawyer can be held to a contract. Presumably, the rest
of us aren't able to sign our rights away. Back in my earlier life, we were
doing a team building thing in Vermont. Aetna wanted us to sign a waiver
releasing them of all liability. My friend was a contracts attorney and she
said if she signed it, it would stick, but the rest of could go ahead and
sign it without worry. A hidden value of being a lay person!
************************
Again, this is not legal advice BUT and this is a BIG BUT:
Subscribe to the above ONLY if you have the financial resources to defend
yourself in court to TRY to get out of the contract. This is not cheap nor
easy.
While you are at it factor in the aggravation, worry, lost time,
inconvenience, gnashing of teeth etc, etc.
Note that Dan said that a JURY had absolved a party of the contractual
liability. Check with your attorney
on the cost of defending yourself in one.
The opening page of the one law book that has been ensconced on my credenza
for
37 years has this quote:
"SIGNATURES TO AN OBLIGATION ARE NOT MERE ORNAMENTS"
Certainly an attorney is held to a higher standard than a lay
person-----just as a licensed Captain is held to a higher std. than
an unlicensed one. (Not meaning to open another can of worms.)
Forewarned is forearmed.
