[projectvrm] Non-disparagement clause

[Phil Windley < >]

Check out this story that just appeared on a local TV station. 

The woman buys something from Kleargear.com, doesn't get it, writes a negative review and several years later gets a legal notice from Kleargear telling her to remove the review or be fined because in their T&Cs they have a "non-disparagement clause".

"In an effort to ensure fair and honest public feedback, and to prevent the publishing of libelous content in any form, your acceptance of this sales contract prohibits you from taking any action that negatively impacts kleargear.com, its reputation, products, services, management or employees."

And just to show that companies that report on sucky companies can be sucky in their own way, KUTV apparently has JS in place to prevent me from copying and pasting from the story. I had to View Source to cut and paste the preceding quote into this email. :(
