All I can add of value is that I've learned from painful, recent
experience that a contract is not worth the paper it is written on
unless is has a value in the six-figure range, because it will need to
be that valuable before it is worth going to court over.

Court fights can take YEARS, and will easily exceed the value of the
contract you're fighting over.

I didn't learn this until after I had consulted with an attorney, and
that was right before going to court.
