Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

ny.nj sale representative.

dear lawyer,

I am an independant sale

representive in NY/NJ. I have joined

a network of reps that maintain an

internet site advertising our business

and companies products (orders are

placed online too) over a year and a

half ago i paid $500.00 to obtain my

NY/NJ territory. Since then I have

gain125 accounts and have

participated in events and advertising

of the group. I do not have a

contract, and today the business

moto of the group is changing and

they are suddenly taking companies

away from my territory, and cutting

my commissions. I am in the process

of making my own website to convert

my clients so that they are only

dealing with me. If the owners of the

site shut me out of using the site

what are my rights. If I handle NY/NJ

and have done so for over a year, do

the companies that pay them a

commission have to pay them the

person submitting the order?

if they sell their web site as an

affliate am i entitled to my territory

percentage. I feel like they advertised

this site to gain representatives, had

us pay to join and now that they are

going strong they are cutting us out

of the picture. I feel bait and

switched. the company is out of

oregan and florida.

Re: ny.nj sale representative.

This is much too complicated a scenario to handle in this forum. You have contract law, possibly franchise law, internet law, interstate issues, etc., etc. If this is worth fighting over, it is worth going to an attorney.
