Re: Legality of posting emails
In general, invasion of privacy and/or defamation suits are defended by "truth" of the assertion. These would be the primary causes of action this supplier could try to go after you if you carry out your plan of "attack". However, there may be other remedies you have that protect you legally and will help ensure that you are properly given a refund for delivery of defective goods. We suggest you pursue these positive remedies rather than opening yourself up to possible legal liability with your future posts at issue. If you would like further assistance/direction in this matter, contact us directly.
