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.
Yeah… that’s a huge nope. I’d have walked the moment I saw that even if it’s not enforceable, since they’re not confident enough to stand by their own quality.

They should make a law that is upheld about things like this.

Leave a bad review for them breaking the law. Each time they threaten you, continue to append their email to your review.

Sadly, this act only covers “form contracts” for the sale of services or products, and doesn’t look like it would extend to contracts of employment. That is, a consumer cannot be bound by a clause that prohibits writing reviews. And if a consumer of the company’s products is also an employee, then this act doesn’t prohibit a “no reviews” clause in the employment contract.
