The legal doctrine of promissory estoppel kicks in where one person makes a promise about something and another person acts in reliance on that promise.
If you (and Sun) happen to live in a jurisdiction whose laws recognize promissory estoppel. If you happen to live in a "consideration" jusrisdiction, you've got nothin'. Yes?
