  • I especially like this term:

    3. The service is designed and offered as a general purpose product, and is not designed or offered for specific User purposes; Users accept that no software platform, website or data processing service is free from errors or imperfections.

    Could I consider that as a libellous statement, as my websites all conform with current W3C requirements, along with government guidelines on accessibility. I also know that there are no errors in grammar, punctuation or spelling on my sites.

    Perhaps we should get all the MSE users who are site owners to write to Vincenzo Salvia (MD) at the address on their site and request that he removes such an improbable statement from his site or legal action could ensue?


    I think what he means is that the designs may get emailed through to you with some errors on them and he cannot be held liable.

    I can't see this guy spending the necessary to pursue this through the courts for £96, when he has little chance of actually winning when a judge looked at the T's & C's.

    I'd personally tell him that I had no intention of paying for a service which was so hidden away as to be impossible to know what agreeing to sign up actually meant. He might chase, he might not, but even if it went to a court I would be fairly confident of a result.

    I'm sure that is the case too. But by stating that NO website is error free, he has made rather a sweeping statement. Perhaps we should inform Google and MS that he's questioning their ability to put a site together too.

    I suspect they would be litigious in the extreme.

    Thank you. I'm grateful for that. Glad to say that my GF did make it clear after his second email that she had absolutely no intention of paying him and she asked him to leave her alone. She's ignored everything from him since.

    Do people genuinely pay £100 a year for that sort of thing? Seems unlikely to me.
  • I'm having the same problem as Fatcat. The guy is demanding £96 within 5 days or he will contact his lawyers.
    The only info he has on me is my e-mail & IP address (I registered with a false name, address and D.O.B.)

    Does anyone know if he has actually taken the next step and started legal proceedings against anybody ?

    DC is correct. There is no way in the world he is getting your details from your ISP based on IP addy. Just leave it.

    Seems this company has purchased a set of photos/design album/portfolio and trying to make their cash back from it. T&C's are shoddy at best.

    You might like to read this.
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
