Hey, thanks again for the comment. Well, I'm not a lawyer or such a thing, but I'm aware that law is different depending which place you talk about, so I guess that law itself is something really relative, don't you agree? And perhaps I didn't explain it clear enough, but what I was trying to say is that here, in Brazil, the majority of contracts say that the Startup should return some money provided by sales, and in our case, we only need to return the money if we don't finish the MVP

In our contract, it works like this, we need to finish our work in order to justify the investment. But like I said, it's how our contract works, and for a lot of reasons that I didn't mention in this article, it was our best choice. But it's how I said, it's a really relative discussion, it all depends on your contract, and about the law stuff, I can ask our lawyer about, but it's really not the point of my article, actually, this post is about tech concerns when you need to hurry up and secure your production

But it's quite useless to discuss this with me, I know it may be strange because law it's very different around the globe. So I can't discuss what is right or not after all this is different between our countries, the best I can do if you're really into this, is send a copy of our investment contract.
But please, let's not argue about my contract using another region's law definition, it's pointless

Greetings fellow Brazilian! Just thought I'd clear it up what they're saying. They didn't contest local laws regarding whether or not they're valid.

What they're saying is that when your company receives such an investment deal, the legal burden to pay back that sum of money falls on your company, and not on you as a person.

That's the difference of having to pay back using your personal assets (money and belongings), or your company's assets (money/equipment).

The issues they raised aren't region related

Hey, thanks for the comment. I understood that part haha, but what I trying to say is that in our contract the payback falls on us as people not as a company. But it a really hard thing to explain without telling the whole story behind our deal, and it's not the focus of my article.
Anyway, thanks very much for the comment.

Ah totally understood what's happening here then.

People here are just worried about the risk you guys are going through, but obviously you guys are well aware of the risks and have an idea worth pursuing :)

Good luck to your team and hope to see your product out there soon (write up another post when that happens! A bit of shameless self-promotion never hurts anyone)
