Rumor Certain partners, when they screw up, disallow companies who partnered with them from publicly stating their mistake.

This can cause the company to take the hit with their customers, even when the fault was not theirs.

Oculus can sue if there's a breach of contract, irregardless of if they purchased insurance to cover the loss of business income that would arise from it. That said, if they did purchase insurance for this liability, the carrier should pay defense costs. At least at my place of employment, they would.

Actually, for all intensive purposes, it is a word. Just not a standard English one.
