Legal rights without contract?
|
Hello,
A year ago a person in my home town told me that if I built a turn key system for lead generation, that we could pull in 400 leads a month, and roughly make at least $2,500 a month if not more. I spent 9 months building a turn key system, fixing every bug asked to fix, and implementing every feature asked to implement. 7 months ago momentum started to slow, almost coming to a halt.
I have attempted to correspond with this person via phone & e-mail, and no go. He is a 9 year salesman for one of the biggest timeshare companies in North America. The potential monies I'm going to lose is in the hundreds of thousands, as well as I have $50k of my own time & money invested here.
Do I have any legal rights with 9 months worth of e-mail, and no real contract? I would love to at least get my $50k after legal fees but I'd also like to be compensated for all the unnecessary stress this has caused over the last year. Perhaps even sue for the financial loss over time.
Thanks,
Eri
Additional Details
Perhaps I didn't word this correctly. I realize that there were no monies promised, but I was told that they would have people to call the leads and turn them around, and I was also told they would look at the leads daily, and manage them, closing them out, and paying them out after the tour was taken. These are the part I want to sue over. They made statements to the affect that we were a team, I've done my part, and now they're failing to do theirs.
On these to issues, I have many e-mails articulating what parts each party would play, and to the extent they would play them.

when a contract does not exist in writing, we have to prove and establish that there was indeed a contract and this is accepted by courts. Some proof, even if he had mailed you once is sufficient !. However the fact that you have created documents that a contract did exist is of valuable importance .
The mute question is -whether you have at least a single reply ? |

Not likely, since you don't have a contract guaranteeing a particular amount of return. The salesman's speculation on what it could be worth doesn't mean anything.
See if you can find other companies to buy your software.
Good luck. |

Did you provide him any software? If not, this looks like it was an idea that you ran with. Unless he verbally committed that he would pay you for it, you have nothing. Even if he did verbally commit to you, all you have now is a "he said, she said" situation and you will probably not have much luck with that either. When you start investing your own money on something like this, you should have gotten a contract. |
