    Hey companies that are all pissed, you agreed to the outage when you signed the TOS and user agreements. Get used to it.

      Negligence can invalidate an agreement and expose a company to lawsuits.

      Many companies negotiate agreements, specifically to avoid having no recourse for this type of situation. Companies have individual agreements with crowdstrike that aren’t the boilerplate one they start out with.
