Good point. I did not think of that, legal agreements can be made to obfuscate, much like those online agreements. If that is the case then I am with you completely, it is unfair. But if he signed it knowing the consequences then he should live them in my view.
"But if he signed it knowing the consequences then he should live them in my view."
Why? It is not immoral to break a contract. It happens all the time in good faith. The "wronged" party is only entitled to provable damages. Which as long as he isn't running away with trade secrets, or cold calling his old clients, then what provable damages are there?
Contracts are a civil matter. It is immoral to write a "punishment" clause into a contract and nobody should have to "live with them".
