  • But you can write whatever crap you want, it can’t just be the basis of the entire contract.

    Let’s say I write a contract for you to supply me bricks for 10 years at a firm fixed price cost of $1 a brick, with an order limit of 100 million bricks. I could then add in elsewhere “if more than 5% of the bricks are damaged, you must supply me with one living unicorn.”

    That whole contract doesn’t become void because unicorns do not exist. In fact, if it went to court a lawyer might even argue with a straight face that the supplier must provide something of equal value to a unicorn.
