OP had a 3 month contract which was not honored (according to this side of the story). That's why he lost his deposit on the apartment that he'd let for 3 months.

But did it have an early termination clause he omitted. Every single contract I've seen has an early termination clause in it.

Kind of hard to tell when the entire fcking contract is in Portuguese and you depend on someone else to explain it to you. I still have no idea if the clause is in there or not.

What I can't get through my head is why you'd write a contract at all if both parties are free to do whatever the fck they want anyway...

You can write fuck - writing f*ck causes italicization.

Did you take the contract to someone outside Unbabel to check?

No, the contract was presented and explained to me by the founders, at the time they treated me like royalty so it didn't even cross my mind to question them or waste money on a Portuguese lawyer. And where I come from, having a contract means you need a good reason to break it.

And I'm sorry about the cursing, reading the comments brought a lot of stuff up to the surface again.

I just read the comment by the company and there was an early termination clause...
