Internet Web Site Purchase / Lease

My Wife and I attended a i day seminar were we signed up for a to purchase a web site from a company called Galaxy MAll, Inc.

We signed based on the results they claimed they could deliver. the investment cost eas $6,000 of which we have seen not a dime from the site.

We would like to cancel the site but they are saying that we're locked into a non-refundable lease agreement and they did not gurantee any success of the sites.

what can we do??

Re: Internet Web Site Purchase / Lease

Carefully read the written agreements which you signed. Agreements are generally construed against whomever drafted the agreement, in this case Galaxy Mall probably drafted the agreement. If the agreement is absolutely clear that there is no performance result promised, then you are going to have a hard time making your case. If they have ads or other written material which make such promises, you may have a chance. Unless they are going to cooperate you will have to sue them. The agreement may set forth the jurisdiction where any lawsuit will be filed - probably the county of their place of business. The agreement may also specify arbitration rather than court.

Try to get any and all ads, promotions, etc which they used to induce you to purchase. If you can assemble some witnesses who attended the seminar that may help. Call for a free consultation if you like.
