The most crucial step is to secure your WiFi network. Even if you're no longer with that cable company, anyone with the information in the installer contract could potentially access your network. The cable company's installer sharing your WiFi information with others is a serious breach of privacy. Contact the cable company's customer service: Explain the situation and file a formal complaint about the installer's actions. Ask for the company to investigate the incident and take appropriate action to ensure such a breach doesn't happen again. In some cases, depending on the severity of the issue and the laws in your area, you might want to consider legal action. Consulting a lawyer specializing in privacy law can help you understand your options here. I would recomend paying for a premium consultation with an attorney you trust that specialize in breach of privacy matters like myself to figure out all your options and to see if there is a financial benefit that may be able to reap from this breach of privacy incident.

Your rights are defined in the contract. No one can advise you without it. I'm not sure if your post intended to convey that your lawyer agrees with the replacement, but you should start this conversation with your lawyer. If you don't have one yet, now is a good time to find one to discuss a $7,000 pre-closing repair request under the terms of the contrat you signed.... Read More

Probably, but it starts with the language of the NDA. Must settlement-based NDA's allow disclosure to the spouse but the spouse's disclosure will void the settlement. The spouse may not be personally liable but i would expect the sigining spouse to be. if you want the cash, keep mum. If you want to fight over recovery with an NDA, don't sign and keep fighting. ...

Without more information, it is probably unlikely that someone can sue for any gifts to another. That said, a cause could be built upon a theory of unjust enrichment. However, that would depend of the specific facts of the case. The fact that two people are dating alone is not enough. ... Read More

I guess theoretically you have a case for a declaratory judgment that you do not have to reimburse your employer if you leave, but I don't know why you'd sue.  Just leave.  If your employer tries to sue you for reimbursement, which I doubt, you have the original contract to show that you have no such obligation, and if your supervisor could get into a lot of trouble if he tries to use a forged document or lies under oath....

You can request anythng, but the venue may not honor your request.  Frankly, given the current situation, the venue may not be able to afford a refund.  Assuming that you can't reach agreement with the venue, you could sue to seek to rescind your agreement, arguing that the covid pandemic has frustrated the central purpose of the agreement and/or has made the contract impossible to perform.  Before you do so, however, you should review the contract to see if it contains a "hell or high water" or "force majeure" provision which would provide something along the lines that the risk of any event occurring which prevents the wedding from taking place is on you....

When it comes to refunds the first source of information is the contract. There is no information on whether you can get a refund or not. Now, if there is a phrase that says all sales are final but at the same time there is a clause that allows for refund, it may be possible the court leave both clauses without effect and interprets the language of the contract to determine whether a refund will be allowed or not. Now as to the "efforts" obligation, it is worth noting that if nothing is said a party is usually obligated to do its commercially reasonable efforts and to act in good faith. In conclusion, a more deep analysis look to the language of the contract is necessary before making any conclusions.    ATTENTION.

When it comes to warranties it is very important to review a contracts closely. Ig a contractor fails to perform under the contract and expresses no intention to restore the situation it might be possible to get someone else to solve a problem. However, it is necessary to review the contract. In this case, the contract should explicitly explain what would happen if a party involves others. In general terms a party could loose the warranty. Nevertheless, it is for the judge to decide that. How it is also important to keep in mind that in the contract was an adhesion contract, one not subject to negotiation and non-drafting party maybe favored when the judge interprets the contract. ATTENTION. This is not legal advice. If you have a matter hire an attorney to advice considering the specific circumstances of your situation. ... Read More

When it comes to refundable fees. It is important to understand that it all depends of the text of the contract. Contracts are tools to assign riks. Accordingly, if a contract has been clear about the possibility or not of refunds, usually the answer is there. Now, there is also a breach of contract issue here, in general terms when a party does not want to continue with a contract it must advice the other. However, it does not mean that whatever has been exchanged willbe returned. Each party has a duty to mitigate the situation and also the right to provide assurances or try to perform. In conclusion, can you get a refund? Well, it depends of the text of the contract and the particular context. If so, how do you get it? You can always start by making a formal demand with an effective letter. If it does not work you need to think about your option putting in the table cost, time and practicality. ATTENTION.

You don't need a Montana contract lawyer.  Courts apply the laws of different states all the time, so even assuming that Montana law governs the dispute (which it probably does, but if Montana has no contact with the dispute it may not) and that applicable Montana law differs from New York's (unlikely; conract law is fairly uniform amongst the 50 states), that clause doesn't say that disputes must be litigated in Montana (which would be less liekly to be enforced anyway if Montana has no contact with the dispute).  You would sue in New York and the New York court would simply apply Montana law....

Your husband can sue (anyone can sue for naything), but he is very unlikely to win.  Your husband knew immediatedly that the dealership had signed his name without his authorization (assuming that he did not authorize them to do so) but did nothing.  Your husband cannot not now claim that the contract that he has accepted for two years, while he has used the car, despite knowing that he never isgned it, is invalid. ...

If the signor of the note is claiming it is a forgery, then whether it is valued comes down to if they will fight you on it.  Assuming they failed to pay the note, you'd need to start a lawsuit to get the note converted into a judgment.  If the alleged signer decides to participate in that lawsuit and claim forgery, then it would slow down the process but that doesnt mean you won't be able to convert it into a judgment.  Sometimes having a lawyer send a demand letter on your behalf threatenign litigation makes peopel act more reasonablyand fulfill their contractual obligations.  I'd be happy to do that for you (assuming the amount of the note makes the investment in sending the letter worthwhile).
