Business Wire
American Messaging Services, LLC (“American Messaging”), the
most trusted provider of critical messaging services in the United
States, filed a lawsuit against Doc Halo, LLC citing serious and
blatant violations of the Strategic Partnership announced jointly
on September 16, 2014.
Among the violations cited in the lawsuit:
- An unreasonable refusal on the part of
Doc Halo to provide existing and new American Messaging customers
stand-alone secure messaging services and bundled messaging
services on the terms contemplated in the Bi-Directional Revenue
Sharing Agreement;
- A blatant effort by Doc Halo to recruit
for employment American Messaging Account Managers; and,
- Interacting directly with American
Messaging customers to sell and directly invoice for stand-alone
secure messaging services in contravention of its contractual
obligations with American Messaging.
“It was with all the best intentions that we entered into what
we thought was a mutually beneficial partnership with Doc Halo in
order to provide our valued customers with the most advanced
messaging services available,” said J. Roy Pottle, Chairman and CEO
of American Messaging. “Despite our earnest attempts to make the
partnership a success, we realized that any attempt to forge a
trust-based relationship with Doc Halo was fruitless. To ensure the
ongoing stability of our company as well as our valued relationship
with our customers, we had no choice but to take this legal
action.”
American Messaging has requested and expects to obtain emergency
relief from the court against Doc Halo and is aggressively pursuing
remedies that will allow it to offer customers stand-alone secure
messaging services and bundled messaging service, which combines
paging and secure messaging into a bundled service all under a
single invoice.
