Contracts one accepts all terms of a contract agreed to,
weather read or not.
Kaitlyn and Lindsey
Description &facts • Appeals court was held when a party agreed to remove any false
statements damaging a persons reputation so they wouldn’t get sued. The problem was they didn’t agree to take down the things referenced to the party, just in general.
• Morgan created a website about Nevyas talking bad about him because a surgery went wrong and left him blind, he was told to take down the website or he would be sued. Yahoo shut down the website and Morgan created another one. Nevyas sued for breach of contract because he did not remove the negative comments. Trial court was held and told Morgan to stop. Morgan then appealed.
Key words

decision

created in order to not be sued. Morgan did not agree to stop talking bad about Nevyas.
