What then does "In exchange for consideration received, I hereby give permission to" mean?
I believe that constitutes a claim that some payment was made, yes. I'd want an expert opinion on the exact wording of the first part; I'm used to seeing a longer form like "in exchange for valuable consideration, hereby acknowledged as received". And in older sources one sees "one dollar plus other valuable consideration..."; I wonder if that's been simplified due to court decisions or changes in the law?
But yes, payment is a necessary part of the legal concept of contract. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
