Had a bazaar situation in that a Croatian online company offered us a service at which time we said we might be interested so send information to have a look at it. They sent some info via email and before we knew it they proceeded to sign us up without any written confirmation from our company to theirs in writing and are now demanding we pay their monthly subscription or face legal action. As it's a company to company matter I would have thought a signature and stamp would need to be in place before any legally binding contracts would hold any water in HR. Anyone have any experience with this? This is the firm: www.eupr.hr/ |

Verbal agreements hold no value whatsoever. However, that won't stop them being able to cause you havoc. So you need to prepare for a court case. Judges love things in writing - so write this:-
Write to them (don't bother to call) and tell them that you do not agree to their service. You never agreed to use their service. You did not use their service. You have no intention of ever using their services. If you ever change your mind in the future, then you will let them know in writing. You consider their attempts to charge for are completely without foundation and you give them 28 days to send you any evidence that they have any claim against you or you will consider that they have agreed with you. Add that you will not be accepting any verbal communication from them going forward and everything from now on has to be in writing since you believe they have misrepresented the conversation you did have.
Use your company name, address, oib, sign and stamp it and send it by registered post to their head office (and keep a copy for your records).

Do verbal agreements hold water in anywhere. I'm interested to see what happens to you here, this is just on boardline absurd, because you could sit around and claim that people made all kinds of verbal agreements which they never did and . . . well you know what would be the end result.

The company backed down once we said we where getting lawyer involved, plus we could easily claim in court that we did not understand the agreement as it is not in our native language and we did not have any signed paper. I could be wrong about this, but just heard that the Croatian law makers amended the law on this very subject just last week, making it a requirement that something like a contract, agreement or deal must be signed to be official. Having looked at it online, there are actual cases out there about verbal agreements, but it seems you do need witnesses or say a recording of that agreement. Some big wigs have had such backroom agreements to do with Hipo Bank, football and other agreements which seems people had to stick with (unless of course the mention of possible crushing bones bonded such deal?). |
