[...] by deleting your files/data without any notice they may have violated several laws. We also advice you to get legal help in case you suffered losses due to this sudden termination of service by LiveDrive. Wow. "They broke the law, sue 'em!" Not only childish, but dumb. I'm assuming the customer's contractual relationship was with Backify (not LiveDrive). If so, riling your customers up into a lawsuit-frenzy may Backifire (sorry). I'm imagining that if you approach a lawyer he's probably going to focus on the contract between you and Backify, and not Backify's various vendor relationships and logistical problems...

There should have been provisions in the agreement between Backify and LiveDrive in order to prevent the arbitrary deletion of custom accounts. Their contractual agreement should have had clauses that cover what happens when things break down, such as a notice period and an orderly shutdown. Also contracts often have clauses that preclude one party from attacking the other party publicly. It sounds like two children fighting who don't know how to properly handle business dealings. It is a true mess.
