    Well, it typically does. That’s how contracts are usually structured, to nullify on breach. Warranty void if seal is broken.

      Warranty void if seal is broken.

      Which is explicitly illegal, and if you see it, you should report it so the company gets fined.

      And contracts are generally not voided just because one party violated one part of the contract. Instead, there are consequences in place for such a violation, and the other party is justified in demanding restitution for that violation. In a “social contract,” that means you’re absolutely free to call that person out for the contract violation and seek redress (e.g. sue for defamation or whatever), but it does not justify you in jumping into the mud with them.

      Hold the high ground and don’t let them drag you into the muck with them.
