Amiga Inc. Plans to Shutdown Illegal Uses of Amiga IP : Comment 93 of 172 | ANN.lu |
Posted by AmiTroll on 29-Jul-2002 14:01 GMT | In reply to Comment 90 (darklite): >What if AInc and H&P agreed on the terms and AInc gave H&P the go-ahead to start selling, after which AInc sent H&P a contract describing totally different terms which they could not agree with?
Either way, H&P are into AmigaInc for xx amount of $'s. They shipped product they didnt buy first so now they are stuck for the bill. If Amiga did change the terms of the contract (from the verbal one) then they would STILL have to pay up regardless. Even a verbal contract is enforceable. That or they out and out stole the IP which would be even worse for them.
Besides, i tend to believe that H&P thinks it's immune from foreign companys for some reason. Even after Bernie invoked a clause in his contract with them and told H&P to stop selling Amithilon, they continued to sell it. (still are selling it right?) Sounds to me like they have a crack head in the legal department. Besides, even if they do somehow have license to sell it legaly, a court case would be a drain on thier cash and that alone would force them to speak to Amiga and get things settled quickly and we would have all heard about it by now. And poor Bernie wouldn't be living in the back seat of his car and cooking tv dinners on a hot plate. :)
>And yes, I am aware that H&P didn't stop selling their product. Maybe I should start thinking about sending my copy back to H&P for a refund.
I doubt there is a refund policy. :) That would be too much hassle anyway.
