It is possible they bought the domain name, trademarks, code, database etc. from the company but NOT the company.
However, if they have also had contracts with customers assigned to them I would have thought they would have to fulfil their side of the contract.
- bArray 2y agoIt's not just the domain, trademarks, code, database, etc, but also the customers and their contracts (accept the ones they didn't want). I think in a court it could easily be argued that it was a purchase of the company by a different name. And their argument is that they were not made aware of these contracts, which to me sounds like the new owners should be suing the old owners for lack of responsible disclosure. Unless of course they signed away this right as part of the contract, or they were aware and don't have a leg to stand on. In any case, this is super fishy.
- graemep 2y agoYes, definitely fishy, and I think you are probably right because customers had continuity of service without agreeing to new contracts. It seems really unlikely that they have been assigned the contracts but not these particular contracts.
