      As far as I know only the US would even humor such stupidity. In my country (Australia) they wouldn’t even let it go to court since the common law right to legal justice overrides contract law.

    I didn’t think legal contract could contain “forever”? Which is why Disney’s contract has the death of the last living monarch.

        A contract related to Disney in Florida wanted a forever, couldn’t legally do it, but you could do a timeframe from a person, so they picked the last British monarch after a certain birth cutoff, essentially giving them something like 300 years (very rough estimate don’t remember well enough) in a contract that wasn’t intended to really do more than 100.
