> We asked them to either resolve the issues, or to close our account and refund us. Oh, dear. Probably should have stopped before that comma. It sounds like something that was comparably insignificant spiraled out of control.

Ugh, this could really be just a huge misunderstanding. I wouldn't be surprised if Livedrive comes back with the explanation that they closed all the accounts, and is refunding backify as per their conversation.

[...] by deleting your files/data without any notice they may have violated several laws. We also advice you to get legal help in case you suffered losses due to this sudden termination of service by LiveDrive.

Wow. "They broke the law, sue 'em!" Not only childish, but dumb.

I'm assuming the customer's contractual relationship was with Backify (not LiveDrive). If so, riling your customers up into a lawsuit-frenzy may Backifire (sorry).

I'm imagining that if you approach a lawyer he's probably going to focus on the contract between you and Backify, and not Backify's various vendor relationships and logistical problems...

It'd be most helpful to get a clarification from LiveDrive regarding credit card fraud allegedly traced back to Backify. Because if that's the case, I wouldn't trust a single word of what Backify's saying.

That accusation from LiveDrive is pretty serious. It either has to be true or LiveDrive is liable for damages.

I have to say that both LiveDrive and Backify seem to be acting like children.
