What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
Every year I run promotional events whereby vendors register to participate and they are given a table to display their items.
A new vendor contacted my organization, registered for two events and sent her check in. She then emails the night before to say that she cannot attend due to not feeling well as a result of her pregnancy and that she would appreciate a refund. I responded back that we cannot provide a refund, however I would give her a credit towards participating in a different event. Instead of receiving a response, I received a Stop Payment notice from the bank on her check.
There was no contract involved in this arrangement, although I have the emails indicating that she was committed to the events.
Would I win this if I brought it to Small Claims?
