Hello dear members ..
This is my first post in the forum and I am sure that you won't dissapointe me
Actually, I have a case study for my assignment and there is a remaning part which I doubt about it, so I decided to post it here where I can benefit from your experience
It is mainly about a foriegn software company operating in your country .. It placed an ad in e.g. The Daily News newspaper about a new anti-virus software they had invented and they said that they would pay a compensation of e.g. $30000 for anyone that TRIED the software and it did not clear his/her computer virus successfully.
1. How the law would apply to this company as a foriegn company operating in your country (considering which court would hear the case) ???
2. One of the company employees who works as a software engineer borrowed a copy of this software and when it didn't work, she claim the $ 30000.
3. A person decided to try the new anti-virus software of the company, UNAWARE of the advertisement, the software did not clear viruses. Later, he noticed the ad in the newspaper and contacted the company for the compensation.
--** I know that if he was unaware when he purchased the software, he cannot claim the compensation but I need a law which states this thing and a case example if possiple.
On Friday morning, the company placed a notice in DIFFERENT newspaper, stating the money could no longer be claimed
4. Another person returned from her holiday on Friday afternoon and always reads The Daily News. She had a copy of Thursday's paper where the ad is still placed and purchased the software on Friday afternoon, it did not work so she claimed the compensation. She was told by the company that the offer had expired.
For 2,3,4 I need to identify the lagal issues arising and if there is a valid contract for each of them and the potentail liability of the company towards each of the parties. Supported with laws and cases.
I know it's quite long but I really appreciate your response ..
Thanks in advance
