Entrepreneurship: What is the best way to ask a company to allow you to carry your own product when you realize the company you allowed is doing a horrible job?

David Favor, Fractional CTO answered:

This depends on contracts you signed + if you're in a legal pool.

If you're in a legal pool, makes no difference (to me) how often I'm sued, because I can always go longer in court than the other side, so I always win.

https://clarity.fm/questions/4768/answers/15740 covers how this works.

You pay a monthly flat rate for unlimited out of court time + 100s of hours in court time.

I can't imagine living in the US without Legal Shield coverage.

Nothing sucks time + money like lawsuits, unless you don't have to pay any money or invest any time, because you're in a legal pool.

Once you have Legal Shield coverage for at least 10 days (which is what use to be required for coverage to begin) then do whatever you like.

If you get sued, you'll just laugh, because you might be able to suck the other side so dry, you can pick their clients for your product.
