I think the only letter the legal team expects through google-legal-support@google.com is a notice of sueing them. I really don't have the power to sue them in a US court.
Do people have success when they notify (not sue) the legal team about Google acting against their Terms of Service?
- ecshafer 4y agoIf the amount is low enough you can sue them in small claims court in the US, which the amount is dependent on the state. Small claims court is geared more towards people self defending.
- code51 4y agoI'm not based in US so even contacting a lawyer about this thing is expensive. Lawyers here are not willing to handle international cases except big business cases.
- zdragnar 4y agoThis may not apply to where you are, but you really don't need a lawyer for small claims courts in the US, since the monetary values are relatively small. That said, I'd be surprised if your court system required you to lawyer up for every (relatively) small contract infringement- contracts essentially become pointless for anything less than 20 hours of billable time from a lawyer.
- bryanrasmussen 4y agoso, why can't you sue them in your country? If you are a citizen of another country doing business with Google it should follow that your country's courts have jurisdiction, if you're in the EU I imagine any EU country has jurisdiction (not because I imagine you are, but just as an example of how you might be able to pick a better jurisdiction - but that of course would be up to talking with a lawyer about)
