[Q=michaelm3186] <snip> I read the contract after this high pressure pitch: "if you leave the table the deal is over" . It stated the sales person could make any claim, either true or untrue. <snip>[/Q] Sadly, this is actually the case almost anywhere, not just in Mexico but also including right here in the U.S. Verbal representations mean [b]absolutely nothing[/b] in a contract matter. Most contracts plainly state that any and all oral statements or claims which are not [b]reflected in writing within the contract[/b] are not legally binding. Unfortunately, most people, unlike you (...and good on 'ya!), don't even bother to read the contents of their contract, unwisely (foolishly?) somehow believing that the hungry sales weasels' words are truthful and accurate --- which is very rarely the case. Sales weasels are well aware that nothing they [b]say[/b] is legally binding and that [b]ONLY the written content of the contract means anything at all[/b]. As a result, many hungry sales weasels will gladly lie and fabricate and misrepresent the truth to their hearts' content, knowing that there are really no consequences for doing so, since the contract itself clearly states in writing that [b]oral representations are not in any way legally binding[/b]. That's sad and disgusting, but true.
