Kris (Club Member) stayed Jun 2017 This review is for Alton, The Star We stayed a week at Alton, The Star, and can only think of positives to say. The site is suitable for anyone, but is sloping, so those with tents might have a bit of slope, but it's easy to cope with. The facilities are first rate, the team does a fantastic job of of cleaning and maintaining the grounds, and their hard work was very much appreciated. There's loads to do in the area. As others have said it's right by Alton Towers, and we really enjoyed being able to get there early. The fish and chip van that is there on Saturday night was very welcome after a day of travelling and was very tasty too. Fantastic week, can't wait to go back.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I own a web development and online marketing company. Most of the clients that we design websites for are under contract for website hosting and online marketing. These contracts are automatically renewed and require advance notice in writing to cancel. If a client does not pay monthly dues and does not cancel according to the contract, they risk losing their website and domain name. I rarely have problems, but recently a cosmetic surgeon client (most of my clients are plastic surgeons) had an expired credit card and did not provide us with new payment info. After two months of notices without response and phone calls not returned, we removed the website and in its place put up a page that said "WEBSITE DOWN DUE TO NON-PAYMENT AND BREACH OF CONTRACT." This worked like magic, as the very next day they were faxing over a new form of payment without us even contacting them. My question: did I take a risk or do I have the right to do this ? Since it worked to so well, I would like to know if I can do it again. Perhaps I can warn of this in my contract? It just costs too much to do business if you don't get paid. Thank you for your advice.
I think your solution is simple and effective. if you wanted to go one step further you could see about reporting them to trade receivable companies like D&B, Experian, Equifax, Transunion.
Regarding your liability. Anyone can sue for anything, whether or not they will win is a different matter.
If you clearly spell out in your terms and conditions that the site will go down after non-payment, that should help mitigate your liability.
Have an attorney review your terms and services.Ask a similar question
Don't forget the most important comment by Mr. Schrafel - Have an attorney review your terms and services.
As a website developer, you should be sending your clients to an attorney to have their TOS, Privacy Policy , DMCA notice, etc. prepared. Certainly these are important for your own site as well. (Do not prepare these document for your clients. Practicing law without a license is a felony in all 50 states.)
Below is a checklist for legal issues I use for new e-commerce clients.
1. Business entity - Are you going to be a C corp, an LLC or a sole proprietorship?
2. Terms of Service - This is your contract with your visitors and is the most important item for any e-commerce site. A little work here brings big dividends in the future.
3. Privacy Policy - Every e-commerce site needs a privacy policy!
4. FTC guidlines - The FTC has been regulating business advertising for almost a century. All of their advertising guidlines apply to e-commerce sites.
5. Domain Name issues? Is your name available. Can you create a Trademark?
6. Trademark - Do you have a brand name free from conflict? Should you start with just common law rights? Should you register the mark, and when?
7. Copyright - If it is on the web, it already belongs to somebody. Did you buy a license for the images you are using? Do you have a DMCA notice on your web site?
8. Do you need a DMCA policy?
9. Web Site security issues?
10. Do you need and have an EIN? You can get that for free.
11. Do you have employees? - If so you need written policies regarding their authority and use of the internet.
12. Do you know the difference between a "browser wrap" and a "click wrap" and which do you need?
When I discuss this list with clients other issues arise. Finally, I always discuss with my clients their need for good accounting services. An accountant's advice as you start up can save you many dollars in tax that you might not save if you wait to speak to an accountant until your first tax return is due.
I hope this list will give you pause to think about those issues for which you might need to seek professional advice.
You may want to discuss your situation with a lawyer in more detail. Most lawyers on Avvo, including myself, offer a free phone consultation.

I think you are taking an incredible risk.
What happens if the client was unhappy with your work and thought you were in breach? An angry plastic surgeon has a lot more money to hire a much better lawyer than you and a defamation law suit could bankrupt you.
You need to spell out remedies in your agreement.
Furthermore, word of mouth is loud in a small professional group. This might work the first time but if you piss off the wrong people in the community you might find you lose a lot of clients and potential clients.
I think it is a bad idea. Small claims court is easy and reasonably effective.

Duties of Motherhood
Readers Sound Off on the Responsibilities They'd Give Up!
Mom's to-do list never seems to end. When we asked our readers which responsibilities they would farm out if they could, the responses came in. Though Facebook fan Jennifer Combs-Geiger said she wouldn't change a thing, "Kids are only little once so I'm going to enjoy every moment while it lasts," others were quick to give up a job or two!
- Laundry: From an Anonymous reader who said she doesn't "mind putting it in the wash, but I hate switching loads, folding and putting it away!" to Facebook fan Laura Bovington, mamas seem overloaded with dirty clothes.
- Cleaning: Carri was quick to say, "See ya later, toilet scrubbing!" And many of us couldn't agree more!
- Potty Training: Giving up diapers for good has never been an easy task. Twitter follower smartypantzed said she'd gladly give up "wiping my [newly potty trained] son's bum," while Facebook fans Audrey O'Donnell Nunez and Sarah Z Siddiqui also mentioned the toddler duty.
- Cooking: Facebook fan Pallavi Thakur Dinesh would be happy to have help "Cooking delicious healthy food that everyone will eat!"
- Diaper Duty: While some mamas aren't anticipating the messes that come with potty training, others are ready to give up changing the diapers. strollerdiva said, "I would definitely let someone else change the diapers!"

I write this memoir regarding my life as of when these occurrences which shall lead to my death started, mainly to warn those out there that no matter how safe you and your feeble levels of comprehension would like to have you believe that you are, you are never alone, and never without the threat of death looming ominously and ever so close to finally obtaining you.
I call them the ominous, many others I contacted who also noticed them had developed different names for them, and I recorded them out of respect.
The watchers was a quite popular name.
Also the void.
And I believe one man, a Russian scientist referred to them as "dark matter". They are a collective consciousness that has evolved from the simplest of elements. Darkness.
They began as a simple, mindless animalistic will, but according to them this was before "our earth". After that though, they quickly turned into something.. Smarter.
They began to watch everything, take notes of behavior, and wanted to be a part of the wildness that was life.
I first took note of the ominous in college. Nothing major happened, just occasionally shadows would seem to lean the wrong way, or sometimes darkness seemed to occur we're there was no shade, but those were mere slip ups, hiccups it can't perfect.
It wasn't until I was 27 years old in which I saw it come into true effect. I was walking down the street in the small town of Tilbury, I had planned on going to the local dollar store for some 99 cent loaf of bread.
I noticed a woman walking in front of me at some point, her shadow trailing closely behind her. She was elderly, and "dragged" herself more than walked and yet, seemed to be moving frantically, as if attempting to run.
I was about 12 feet apart from her, and at first I swore it was me hallucinating, maybe due to the heat, but no.
I saw her shadow "defying" her, mocking her movements and also... It seemed the arms of her shadow were reaching Down at her feet, just missing them, but making her stumble.
Then it got a solid grip. She went tumbling down, I herd a swift crack as her head whipped against the pavement. Authorities said her leg had broken before her skull.
After that I became increasingly paranoid about the darkness, my shadow seemed to grow more distant, and darkness seemed so much darker. I began making sure all of the lights were always on as soon as it started to turn dark, but there was always my shadow...
One day I was walking once again to my local dollar store, when all of the sudden, on a random impulse, without even think about it, I stopped walking. My shadow didn't.
It seemed to "notice" that It was no longer attached to me, and scrambled back, acting like nothing had happened, I stood there, staring at it...
Then it turned, without myself turning, and performed an action one would do accompanied with a "shush". Then reverted to mimicking me.
Now I knew the ominous was watching me, always stalking me, and always ready to kill me like it killed that old woman...I know it's going to.
I've herd it whispering to itself in the night when it thinks I'm sleeping, it knows I can acknowledge it, and it fears that. So that's why I am writing this on this website, please here my warning about the ominous, for now that you have read this, now that you know, it will want to kill you as well.
I hope this can become noticed enough, maybe if enough people know we can stop them. Oh god. It's my time, he's right behind me, goodbye.

Xerox had 584 patents in 2007
(probably more spying software)
Patent Powerhouse: Xerox Boasts 101 Inventors with 50 or More Patents
N.YLalit K. Mestha's 50th U.S. utility patent, awarded just days after
his 50th birthday last month, is not only a milestone for him but also
a milestone for Xerox Corporation . Mestha is the 101st Xerox inventor
who has received 50 or more patents, showcasing a culture of innovation
that is both broad and deep. These inventors have produced a wealth of
innovations that distinguish Xerox products and services and have
helped create the modern office and the digital printing
industry.Mestha is among hundreds of Xerox inventors with specialties
ranging from electrical engineering and polymer chemistry to solid
state physics and computer science. Their creativity has resulted in
more than 100 new products and services in the past three years and the
broadest portfolio of digital document systems and services in the
industry."Our selection last year as the recipient of the National
Medal of Technology, the highest technology honor in the United States,
officially recognized what I know: Xerox has some of the world's best
minds in our research and technology organizations. Their innovations
are creating and changing industries," said Sophie V. Vandebroek,
president of the Xerox Innovation Group and the company's chief
technology officer. "In every corner of our company, scientists and
engineers are creating the future today, and conceiving of products and
services that are delighting our customers."Mestha, a principal
scientist in the Xerox Innovation Group, was awarded eight patents in
2007 and is one of eight Xerox inventors who crossed the 50-patent
threshold last year. His rich portfolio of patents, grounded in the
application of modern control theory and centering on sensing and
control of the printing process, was instrumental in developing process
controls in Xerox's flagship iGen3™ Digital Production Press as well as
high-speed spectral sensing and consistent color innovations in other
Xerox products.His 50th U.S. patent, No. 7,307,720 "Method for
corrected spectrophotometer output for measurements on multiple
substrates," addresses the question of how to measure color accurately
on a variety of substrates when using small, fast, and inexpensive
in-line spectrophotometers. The technology measures the color in prints
to help deliver consistent color print after print.
innovation powerhouse for more than 50 years, Xerox has developed deep
expertise in marking, materials, electronics, communications, software
and services. Mestha joins other 50-plus patent holders representing a
variety of disciplines. Among them are:
* Douglas Curry, a
principal engineer at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), holds 51
patents. He recently invented a scanning microscope that identifies and
locates cancer cells in blood. In the late 80′s he co-developed the
world's first quad-beam laser printer and the resulting hyperacuity
printing patents form the basis of today's multibeam laser printers.
* Karen Moffat is a polymer chemist who works at the Xerox Research
Centre Canada. Moffat, who is an expert in the area of toner materials
design and synthesis, holds 52 patents, many of which are related to
toner materials including Xerox's proprietary Emulsion Aggregation
Toner. EA Toner is an energy-saving dry ink that produces sharp, vivid
* Markus Silvestri is a solid state physicist who also
trained in imaging and color science. Silvestri, who has 52 patents,
specializes in photoreceptors, the material on which the latent image
is formed prior to developing the printed image. His inventions
contribute to the goal of making copiers and printers faster, with
fewer print defects, and longer lasting photoreceptors. He works in
Xerox's photoreceptor development area in Webster.
* Bob Street,
a physicist and senior research fellow at PARC, has been awarded 53
patents. Street's current work focuses on exploring high-volume
printing technologies that could replace techniques traditionally used
to create thin-film transistors, and using organic materials to create
large-area transistor and sensor arrays.
Xerox's investment in
innovation generates a steady stream of advanced technology. More than
two-thirds of its equipment revenue is from products and services
launched in the past two years alone, reflecting the company's ability
to generate a strong return on its R&D. Xerox holds more than 8,000
active patents and invests about 6 percent of its revenue in research,
development and engineering activities.
