Surely you can take them to court (if you have time to burn)?
- ciguy 4y agoI'm sure it's possible, but they probably count on having more money for lawyers than most of their customers.
- orthecreedence 4y agoIf it's less than the small claims maximum, it's absolutely worth taking them to court. They probably won't even show up and you'll get a default judgement in your favor. Usually the horror stories are tens of thousands of dollars (far past the small claims threshold) and believe me when I tell you that suing someone, especially someone with deep pockets, is a clusterfuck nightmare.
- JohnFen 4y ago> suing someone, especially someone with deep pockets, is a clusterfuck nightmare. Absolutely correct. Even worse, winning the lawsuit does not mean you'll see the money. It only gives you the right to do things like attach liens onto their assets. You have to actually do all that footwork (and pay the associated expenses) yourself. So suing is a clusterfuck nightmare, and after winning, collecting what you're owed is a second clusterfuck nightmare.
- malfist 4y agoI'm sure their EULA has an arbitration clause
- polski-g 4y agoIf they don't show up to defend their EULA in the small claims court it doesn't matter what they put in there.
- autoexec 4y agoany money for lawyers and court fees.
