Feb 8, 2014 at 3:26 comment added 5ound I'm not saying that presenting a dialog is a substitute for a contract. A dialog is usually a reminder of what is already in a contract. If Ford's business model revolves around legally charging people for carrying passengers and you found that they accidentally forgot to write it in their contract, then yeah, I would be a bit worried about Ford suing me.
Feb 6, 2014 at 9:07 comment added MSalters @5ound: You can always get sued. Courts don't reject lawsuits up front. But the idea that "presenting a dialog" is sufficient to alter contract terms is truly ridiculous. Imagine buying a car and being presented with a dialog that you still need to pay an extra $1000 to carry more than one passenger. Do you pay because Ford might sue you?
Feb 6, 2014 at 3:11 comment added 5ound Autodesk presented a dialog stating their intention: you may not use your creation for commercial purpose. Seeing a dialog that told you not to do something, but going ahead and doing it because you saw a loop-hole in their contract system. I would find this to be very dangerous. You can get sued, even if you’re right. Looking at 123dapp.com/gopremium, it seems to me that unless you pay a premium membership, you cannot use your creations for commercial purpose. My advice is to either contact AutoDesk and get an official answer from them or get legal advice.
