I don't think a contract clause like that is enforceable anyway. But I am not a lawyer. I don't even pretend to be one on the internet.
Because it is a local case it has been covered in depth by the local print and television media. The interviewed legal experts seem to split on whether or not the clause is enforceable.
Beyond that fact, it seems clear to me, that the company has incurred their alleged damages directly and solely because of their actions by filing a lawsuit over a review. They brought considerable attention to the matter by suing the couple.
I am sure there are a lot of folks in the area, such as us, who will never ever use these people for any reason because their bad behavior has exposed them for what they are. While an isolated one star review could be discounted as just a difficult client or some other issue, the fact the company went to war at this level pretty much proves they are not worth dealing with for anything.
