Click here for transcript $65 (USD) Oct 29, 2001 8:07:01 AM EDT  9.98 (Excellent)     Hello, First let me state clearly that I am not an attorney. I have however, studied Business & Contract Law in the US (University requirements). I am a freelance programmer and English Teacher (English as a Foreign Language). I have 15 years experience both in programming and writing software related contracts. I reviewed your Terms of Use and found a number of grammatical as well as ambiguous errors that may/may not affect the enforceability of the contract in the US. I also have several suggestions for re-wording the contract. If you are interested please accept my bid above. Meanwhile, if you have a moment, please review my online resume and client comments regarding my performance. Best Regards, Michael Sharp           See 2 private reply(ies) to/from Michael Sharp.
