Best of luck.

Businesses are free to employ surveillance in most parts of the business. They cannot do so in changing and bathroom areas, or showers at places like gyms.
I am retired and have a self-publishing business part-time to sell books I have written. If I use my residential house address where I live for this business address, and if someone sued the business, would it be possible for me to lose my house?
Thank you.
It doesn't matter what address you use for the business. If a lawsuit finds you personally liable, then all your personal assets would be at risk - including any real estate you own.

If your mom is not a guarantor or co-signer then she has no liability to the landlord and should not pay anything.
I have an employment contract/non-compete agreement. Would this agreement be null and void also?
The terms of your contract between you and "employer" would govern what happens if services are suspended and you had made sales that qualify for payment prior to the suspension. Often times, employers will put people on 1099 arrangements when in fact they have a more traditional... Read more »
Can I walk away with no obligations in Ohio? It clearly states account is closed and the harassment and interest rate alone may kill me and cat is falling apart. I need nee car ASAP. Please help
1. FYI, your credit report status has nothing whatsoever to do with your auto loan status.
2. The lender can continue trying to collect from you until you pay off the car loan.
3. And finally, "walking away" will do no good either.
Again: You still owe the... Read more »
It seems he has blocked our number. How long do we allow him to be MIA before hiring someone else?
It depends on the language of the contract but you can treat this as an anticipated breach of contract. If he is avoiding your calls and not responding to e-mails, you can cut him loose now. Send an e-mail stating that. You have an obligation to mitigate any potential damages caused by his... Read more »

Competitions are only giving credit, but some of our dancers are not returning to classes. Parents want a cash refund which involves thousands. Basically the competitions are holding our money forcing us to return to their competition.
By law do I have to give these refunds if I have not... Read more »
Clyde,
The answer is it depends. For the Competitions, the contract the studio/club signed with the Competition legal entity will control that. If the contract says that if the event is canceled or postponed you only get credit, not your money back, that controls. If it is silent about... Read more »
I’m an investor in a privately held company. The company emailed us investors financial statements for 2019 that included settlement amounts from a lawsuit involving an individual.

It is highly probable that the settlement agreement itself has a confidentiality/non-disclosure provision that prohibits the disclosure of the... Read more »
Most retailers in our area are refusing cash payment and instead are requiring you to pay via card or some sort of cash app.
Yes, it is legal for a private business to accept only some sorts of payments and to refuse cash payments. A governmental institution or chartered bank cannot refuse cash.
The Company is in Cleveland Ohio, and requesting a complete background check. No offer made.
There are very specific privacy laws surrounding this. Talk with an employment attorney. Also, background checks are not free, so it is a good sign that they are requesting it, but I have only heard of background checks requested after a conditional offer is made and accepted. Talk to an employment... Read more »
