My cousin hired a company called Toscano Floor Designs in New York and the agreement states: Purchaser agrees not to attack/criticize or write negative reviews online about the seller. This should have been a red flag for what was about to come.

    I would never hire a company that had a clause like this. Just find someone else. There’s a reason they felt it necessary to include that.

      I worked with an accountant for years and he got his ass bit by some asshole who left him a negative, and false, review.

      He added a clause on renewal contracts with new language saying you won’t leave a negative review and to arbitration.

      I told him I’m not signing this. I never leave reviews and I understand he’s trying to mitigate his losses and force arbitration but I told him that it wasn’t going to work.
