Q: Need case law or correct search term: 3 party not responsile for equipment breakdown
Moved and setup a clients server 4 years ago to a new location. A few months ago they had power surge which wiped their server, now they are trying to sue saying it was our fault for lose of information (their clients are suing them, they say we are the ones that should be held liable) They were told verbally and via email they should do routine maintance and off site back ups. They never did. We did not make, buy servers. They were already in use at old location. They were not a ongoing client as they refused our maintance package. Set up was 4 years ago! There was not warranty or guarantee in our contract. Working on my answer, was going to put a motion to dismiss also but need some case law. Hoping to get dismissed right away, but if not will need to hire someone
