Verbal representations are binding plenty of times, but when the printed and executed agreement claim that verbal representations are to be disregarded, it's an uphill battle.

This kind of change is yet another reason I'm glad I've never jumped on board an MVCI package -- I just feel awful for my relatives and friends and the others who bought in and will be left short of what they too used to get and thought they would continue to get.
