First, the company wouldn’t enforce a term that barred someone from speaking to their own investigator. But if it did somehow get to a court to sort out, it’s more likely that would be considered an ambiguous term and, in applying the principles of contract interpretation, would likely determine that of course OP can speak to the investigator investigating this incident. Same goes for the notion that unrelated documents wouldn’t be able to be sent to people. | |

Corrected an incorrect point based on feedback in comments.

| Nov 11, 2019 at 16:46 | comment | added | Martin Bonner supports Monica | $1 absolutely would be consideration. So would 1¢. There is no concept of the consideration having to be "reasonable". | |

Clarified that the concept of consideration is also key in Canada
