Q: can I sue a prebuilt shed company?
I bought a brand new 10x12 prebuilt shed delivered to my property that leaked from day one. After a few half hearted attempts to fix it among several non returned calls and no shows the owner of the company said he would take it back and refund my money. That was 2 months ago every time I call him he gives me a day he’s coming and doesn’t show up. Can I take him to court for cost of shed? Can I sue him for court costs as well? Paid $2000 plus for this shed already lost $200 in stuff I bough5 to put on it. Paint etc.
A:
First check the terms of the agreement. It could possibly contain provisions that include arbitration as a forum for handling disputes.
