Contract-law-hero

Be careful what you agree to. Once you've entered a contract, you're probably stuck.

Bought something from the dairy lately? Hired a plumber? Booked a motel? If you did, you entered a contract. You, and the person you dealt with, have legal rights and obligations. And the agreement you made can be legally enforced. There's no backing out now.
