I paid a website company to build an ecommerce site. He offered me a couple solutions one being that I pay X dollars up front and they will get 5% of my sales for 3 years. With the 3 years the contract included no monthly hosting, management of site, search engine optimization, Advertizing campaign, email and gateway setup. <br />
Since the economy has been bad, sales on my site have been maybe 1-2 sales per month, which is not generating anycommision for him. He is now stating that I need to start paying him monthly hosting fee's at 99.00 per month or if I don't then I owe him XX amount of money and he'll shut the site down. But we signed a contract that states no monthly fee's regardless if the site makes money or not. And on top of that they never did the other items they promised in the contract. Is this a Breach of COntract? DO I need a lawyer?<br />
Contract Option states Cost for Website and above items (SEO, advertising, email etc) XXX.xx. SiteMaster will receive 15% of each sale until $XXX.xx commission is met after the $XXX.xx commission has been met then a percentage drops to 5%. The percentage contract option covers monthly hosting and management costs as well. With this option your only up front cost is $XXX.xx, no monthly fee's ; contract period 3 years.<br />
