Absent some sort of agreement, you have no legal recourse. The law protects four main types of intellectual property: trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets. This is not a trademark, copyright, or patentable subject matter. Furthermore, this does not look like it should be granted trade secret protection since it is just a business model, and not something of value that is recognized by the law (e.g., secret recipe, customer list, invention).
