What is the name of your state? Texas
A Online casino software company had released a new slot machine, after noticing that it wasn't paying out the correct amount based on what was stated in the paytable, I contacted support. After repeatedly asking why the paytable hadn't been corrected for a few months, I was finally contacted by A Director at the software company that said I was correct and that the paytable would be updated ASAP.
Another month went by and it was still not updated and when I was finally able to catch the Director on the phone he asked what the big deal was and what was I trying to get out of this, when I told I felt I should be paid the amount stated in the paytable, he told me to forward all the correspondence I had with support and himself and he would forward it to the board and they could decide if this was a valid claim or if I was just trying to strong arm.
2 days later the paytable was corrected and I was being contacted by their attorney who insisted I sign and fax him the NDA he had sent me, before he could discuss any kind of a settlement offer. Once I signed it and sent it back to him, he 1st offered me 2.5% of what I should have won then he went up to 10%, which I told him I wasn't willing to accept that amount.
After receiving the run around from him for a month or so, I finally emailed him and told this was their last chance and that the following week I would be retaining a lawyer. He immediately replied asking me to give him more time, since the board was on holiday that week (yes, week) and asked me what amount I would be willing to settle for, to which I replied 80% of what I should have won. He continued to string me along for about 3 weeks and when I finally got him on the phone, he said he was in the process of finishing up the offer letter to send me. A week later, I received an offer letter for the 10% that I had already turned down a couple of months earlier.
So my question is, would I be circumventing the NDA if I only mentioned in forums what happen prior to when I signed the NDA?
If that would be circumventing the NDA, what would be the worst they thing they could do to me?
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!!!
