Am I at all responsible

Hello

 

[Dave Zan]

Not an attorney, but...was there a "signed" contract of sorts in the 1st place?

You're responsible.

If jonny buys an apple from sara and sara dropships the apple from peter, and the apple is delivered sour, jonny can sue sara if she doesn't rectify the situation. Sara would then have to sue Peter.

If justin borrows $10.50 from jospeph, and justin lends his only $15.00 to steve, when joseph wants his money back from justin, justin cannot tell him to get it from steve, unless joseph is willing to go through the hassle.

Unless of course an written agreement is made explaining these details

I am not 100% sure.

1. Legally, it would involve contract law, esp. regarding intermediary. Of course, whether elbst23 (thread starter) is an intermediary also needs to be decided on.

2. That the logo used was said to be trademark infringing does not necessarily mean the designer was at fault. What kind of trademark infringement was that? Was it simply because it contained the domain name that was trademark infringing?

It is clear that the domain name owner wants to recover some of his loss by cutting into your share. Contracts aside, do you think it's right or "okay"? This shall dictate how you respond to his "new financial arrangement".

Just some quick thoughts.

That's a great question.
