Those terms, thrashed out over Martinis and peanuts in some ill-lit bar in a skanky part of town at three in the morning, the tend commandments on the stone tablet (choose your own [[metaphor]], okay?) — ''that’s the deal'', and we [[legal eagle]]s have little to say about it, assuming it doesn’t actually break the law.
