Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Credit Card Processing Software

Was going to have an e-commerce business, but changed mind. Got credit card company to refund money, but was still debted for the credit card processing software. Basically, I never had a site, so I'm paying for nothing. Company claims that I owe them $2200. I paid 900 but still owe 1300. In retrospect, I don't think I'm legally responsible for continuing to pay them. I remember signing a contract that said that there are no refunds and I have to pay the entire ''financed'' amount. Do I have to continue to pay them?

Read your contract. If you breach are you judgment proof?

Read your contract. A promise to pay is enforceable whether or not you use what you bought.

Re: Credit Card Processing Software

Attorneys cannot interpret contracts they have not read. The terms and conditions of your agreement to purchase the software will determine what rights you have to a refund, if any. It is usually difficult to return software even if you don't use it.

Have you tried to sell it to someone else and at least get some of your money back?
