I went to seminar by Storesonline and wanted comments on the contract they presented under somewhat due pressure.
One clause in there mentions a fee of $1500 for web site maintenance fee but it is optional whether you want to use their service or not. On bootom it says we paid a processing fee for a one day seminar which includes breakfast and lunch and binder fullof notes ,free classified ads and free web site programming charges of $1800 waived if you attend the comprehensive one-day seminar. Since the contract is in USA law I wonder how enforecable it would be in Canada as the instructor acknowledge that it shoudl have been in canada law at the free seminar. I wonder often when usa people come to canada and they are located in USA how a contract becomes enforcable when it crosses boundaries of another country.
And when they get hold of your credit card if you cancel it how easy to get your money back. They always seem to want in the thousands of dollars from you on your card and I heard very hard to get the credit back if you cancel a contract.
Final point is how come no government department regulates these companies that put on FREE seminars then try and get thousands of dollars from you. Only if it gets in hundreds or millions of dollars lost then they become involved . I know for me it iis always Buyer Beware!
