Legal Question in Business Law in California

"Tip-Off or Rip-Off"

Dear Sir, I recently paid a server mebmasters to design a website for me and to post it.We signed a contract but I do not feel that they are living up to their end. When I checked the www, I found out that the server had placed my website in their name as ownership. I paid him $2500 to design the web but not to own it. The domain name is mine and all contents are mine and I am responsible for all matters related even the I.R.S. Should I just call the server and tip my hand or rely on a legal president to correct this matter?

Re:Web site ownership

Q. I paid him $2500 to design the web but not for

him to own it. Should I just call the server and

tip my hand or rely on a legal president to

correct this matter?

A. Sooner or later you are going to have to confront

the server and you need information. Check your

written paperwork/contract and WRITE to the server

and state your position. He will tell you his

and you can act accordingly.
