So go ahead and try it!  ;-)  

Tell 'em we told you to do it - it's okay.  

We're programmers, and we're grown ups.  

We be smart.  =8^o

Actually, I respectfully decline to act as ad hoc surrogate police for
any other party, especially anyone trying to lord it over children.  I
figure each party can negotiate with each other party without my
generalizing advice ... except to say:
(a) I don't think judges hold anyone under age to a binding contract,
and 
(b) I don't think a judge inflicts a non-negotiated contract on anyone,
and 
(c) I don't think any judge will uphold any contract without
"consideration" between the parties, that is, money change hands.  

Ask a lawyer who practices in your jurisdiction.

Fight the Power!
