You're kidding me... that's in Slack's terms of agreement?

  • Summary

  • We're choosing to talk about Slack because virtually every technology company is using Slack. It's ubiquitous. It's almost like de facto standard for communication.

    One of the things that I found, and maybe you appreciated this too, is when I went through the documentation, just pages and pages and addendums, whatever. But it's not legalese. It's not legal jargon, which I very much appreciate it.


    From lawyer Joel MacMull:

    Yeah. All right. So, so, so First of all, let's talk about the manner in which it's drafted. To their credit, a lot of it is very much in plain speak. I mean, you know, Sometimes when you're going to talk about the exclusive jurisdiction in which a litigation can arise, it's going to get a little legalize. That's just the nature of the business. Mm-hmm. Um,


    But to its credit, it's very much written in plain speak, and I think it's digestible. Would like to hope it's digestible. For everyone to, to, to, to, to sort of user agreements we've looked at, It suffers from, I think, Uh, and, and, and, and I go back to what I think I said very early on, of you know, this kind of um, "incorporated by reference herein" and then those incorporations then leading back to no less than I counted five separate agreements.
