In other words, you can create a contract that is incompatible with the law but it (or those aspects of the contract) will not be recognized by the courts. For example, people have, for demonstrative purposes, put terms such as giving up your first born child in the terms and conditions of websites but such conditions have no real legal ramifications. | |

| Sep 12, 2022 at 15:28 | comment | added | user6726 | Is that just a personal opinion or is there case law to support that? In other words, do you have positive evidence to support your claim? | |
