We will be going back to online sales only. The store will be appointment only for regulars/friends. Sorry but the Saturday thing is not productive anymore and become annoying. Online sales make up 95% of all business anyways.

Just when I thought I was out pulls me back in. After a month the attacks have begun again.

Now they are threatening to not communicate:

As far as our client’s claims of infringement, they are outlined in the attached letter.
Please note that we will not continue to engage in these exchanges. We do recommend that you retain counsel.
We look forward to notice of your full compliance by the close of business on Monday April 23, 2018 failing which we shall seek instructions from our client.
----------------------------------------------------------------
(I sent to them) I find it inappropriate to cease communications while you are/were not providing information.
Your client has faked this in the past as there was no active trademark or signed agreement.
This will be noted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(Response) Kindly advise if you intend to respond to the substance of the claims being made against you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(I responded) Ummm…This is what I was trying to do but you stated you will not continue this exchange.
You’re also not answering basic questions.

Oh Facebook!
I am probably not going to be posting too much on Facebook in the future. The reasons are that this platform takes too much time and I don't really post too steadily. I have to devote my time to website customers and the core business that has become very busy lately.
I suppose the problems Facebook has been having doesn't help. I see a decline of users and time on the site making it not really effective. This is probably because of the Data release problem and recent congressional testimony of Mark Zuckerberg. Secondly I personally don't like the political screening taking place. I never get publicly involved in this stuff but opposed political views should be the right of people to express if they desire.
I'm not closing the page but am going to be more limited in posts in the future.

SPEEDPLAY VS TORONTO CYCLES
So I requested documents to support Speedplay's claim and this is the response I just received: (I will post the demand letter tonight)
Dear Sir,
All documents are publicly available. We strongly suggest you retain counsel. Our deadline is unchanged

Lets meet one of Speedplay's Lawyers ERIC MACRAMALLA of Gowling LLC. If you have any questions regarding the legality of replacing a bearing in Canada then please contact Eric at +1 613-786-0105 or via email at: [email protected].
Please note my request for supporting documents took 40 days to get a reply. I posted the reply.

During this time of funeral I also had to deal with Speed Play's continuing attacks and demands. I guess this is going to continue. One more time it will be an all out war with these idiots.
