Legal Question


Are contract terms transferred if a company is bought out

Good Afternoon;

We had a contract with a uniform company (hereby named: company #1). Company #1 was recently bought out by another uniform company (hereby named: company #2).

We would like to cancel our services with company #2.

Our contract with company #1 was signed 8-29-01, terms are for 24 months. The contract should be up, but company #2 automatically enrolled us for another 24 months starting 8-29-03 because we did not give 60 day written notification to cancel. We did not sign a contract with company #2. The name of company #1 does not appear on any of the billing or coorespondence for company #2.

My question is: Can company #2 automatically transfer the contract with the same terms without authorization or a signature?

Thank you,

J
