Case Studies for Asset Protection Software
Actual Case Study A work-at-home scheme touted the money-making potential of five pre-packaged Internet businesses, promising that buyers could make more than $115,000 a year using the product.
The defendants told consumers that the product would enable them to make money while they sleep.
What consumers received for their $47.77 investment was the right to reproduce the defendant's advertising Web site and try to resell its contents to other consumers.
To achieve the promised $115,000 in earnings, consumers each would have to sell the product to 2,400 additional consumers, who would each need to sell to 2,400 additional consumers to achieve the same earnings, and so on.
According to the FTC, by the third generation of the scheme, participants would need to make a total of 13,829,760,000 sales, more than twice the earth's population, for each of them to achieve the advertised earnings. In fact, many purchasers failed to make even one sale after months of trying.
The FTC has filed charges against this well known Internet Marketer, and shut down his operations until further notice! A few well placed disclaimers, and a Forward Looking Statement might well have prevented this disaster! |
Actual Case Study In a recent case, a well known Internet entrepreneur found that his logo had been stolen, and his customer database hacked into.
The thief was using his logo on a webpage he had created on the .net version of the same domain name as our unsuspecting entrepreneur (a very good reason to buy the OTHER extensions of your company name.)
The purpose of this site was to con the customers from the pirated database into giving them the CCV numbers on the back of their credit cards (as verification of their previous purchase), by offering them additional "bonuses." With this information, he could then match up the CCV numbers to the card information from the stolen database, and use those card numbers any way he chose.
After finding out about this scam, our entrepreneur was able to shut down this operation in less than 24 hrs, using the supplied forms, letters and instructions from the AutoWebLaw Package!
The perpetrator is now under investigation by the United States Secret Service Department! |

Actual Case Study In a recent case, a customer purchased and downloaded software from a web site. Before purchasing the software the vendor required the customer to check a box indicating that the customer had read and agreed to the purchase agreement terms. The purchase agreement was available to be read, if the purchaser wanted, through a hyperlink next to the check box.
When the product failed, the customer brought suit in the New York courts where the customer lived. The vendor was located in California. The customer sued for $100,000 since the software program caused the customer to lose valuable client information on his computer.
The court held that since the customer agreed to the terms of the purchase agreement, which had an arbitration clause, jurisdiction clause and a damage limitation clause, he could only arbitrate his claim in California and that his damages would be limited to the price he paid for the software, which was $69.
The form used to protect the software distributor, and many more, are the EXACT types of forms you'll find in AutoWebLaw Pro, ALL completely customizable to your specific needs! |
Actual Case Study A well-known corporation hired an artist to produce exclusive artwork for their publication, but neglected to get a "Work for Hire" contract before the work was commenced, only to later learn that the artist had sold the rights to that artwork, and discovered it being sold everywhere they turned.
In the legal battle that ensued, the courts found that although it was understood that the artwork was being produced exclusively for the corporation's use, the artist retained the rights to his property, to do with as he pleased, leaving the corporation no recourse in damages.
They had effectively paid the artist to produce work that he was then able to resell again and again. If they'd used a "Work for Hire" contract, like those in AutoWebLaw, they'd have retained the rights for themselves, as they had intended in the first place! |
