Take heed about certain barter software companies that have egregious software use and license agreements. Some companies, such as DoBarter actually impose a $100,000 financial obligation if you use other barter software, switch to a different barter software, allow your programmer or web developer to access their barter software, or decide you want to use your own barter software within one year of using DoBarter software. Do all three and you could accrue a $300,000 financial obligation to DoBarter.
