You sound like an idiot.   The NBFAA isn't asking for your money for
ADT's defense fund.  They're asking for you to contribute to pay their
lawyers to write a document that may help influence an appeals court
decision.  Why?  Because if this thing doesn't get overturned, it has
ramifications to put small alarm dealers out of business.  A $4
million charge for Tyco is no big deal.  They don't need your money.

ADT's commercial contracts require an "Authorized Representative" to
countersign after the customer and sales rep have signed the document.
This is to prevent sales reps from writing bad business without
management approving the terms.  I can't comment on this specific
case, but from what I've been told, this ruling will be overturned.
It's really a matter of whether or not there was a valid contract in
place.  It's not about the legality of liability limitation, so the
NBFAA's request may be a little misguided, but not because they're
trying to pay ADT's legal bills.  They're not.
