A website gives discount for each one who use an invite code. I opened more than one account to get this discount every time I purchased from them. I used different cards, name and shipping address on every time I purchased. Can they judge me or charge my card if they know that it's one who... Read more »
Depends solely on your card member agreementvterms.
I cofounded a S corporation in Delaware a few months ago and left the company as the board member and employee after a couple of months due to disputes with my partner. I still kept the shares (50%) because I was not compensated for the work I did. The company was a start-up and did not have any... Read more »
Depends on what's in the operating agreement/by-laws. What was the underlying entity that was S-elected? S-corps cannot be created at the state level, you have to have a registered entity upon which to elect S status. The IRS will use the entity law to determine owner liability and... Read more »

Anyone can sue anyone if you pay the filing fee. Your question is way too vague. Yes, the operating agreement governs. So does what the claim even is, which you have not stated. Thus, if your real question is the success of such a claim, no one could know based on your post.
I cofounded a company (became shareholder, officer and director). The company was incorporated in Delaware by the other founder (CEO and board member). The CEO and I had various disagreements over the first 2 years... long story but I ended up citing him with grave misconduct and negligence in... Read more »
Sounds like a messy situation. A lawyer should review the organizational and board documents (bylaws and board resolutions in particular, as well as examine whether the special meeting was properly noticed). There are many questions here, and they can't be answered without reviewing those... Read more »
No. The differences, if any, would be set forth in the company's bylaws.
Yes you can. You promise to provide information to another person in exchange for that person paying you a fee.
The answer is "Yes," but if the attorney representing the defendant discovers that the corporation is not in good standing, the attorney will file a motion to dismiss. If the corporation fails to become current with franchise taxes, the Court will grant the motion.

Why are some of the shareholders not present? Is it a question of geography or is it a lack of interest? Do the bylaws provide for shareholder action without a meeting, such as by telephone?
