Hall Of Shame Members
Added February 4, 2009

Prive's not too bright CEO/COO, Jacqueline Applebaum, insists that Prive does not allow it's product to be sold on the internet. Her email to a web site seller makes that point clear. What she doesn't make clear is why if she bothered to consult with the company's lawyers, why didn't she just have them send the threatening email instead of her? Wouldn't it have been more effective and more intimidating coming from some fancy Los Angeles law firm instead of some weirdo CEO/COO? (and what is a COO? Is she a pigeon?)
"... either the PRIVE products you are selling are counterfeit; or are being sold in violation of an express provision of a distribution agreement with Prive."
According to whom there Jackie? If the web site is getting the product from one of your fabulous salons, what does that say about your selection process if the salon owner is willingly violating your limited distribution agreement? But what proof do you have, beyond your stupid little mentality, that the web site seller knew about your agreement before purchasing the product? And even if the seller did, that's a civil matter between you and the salon owner, isn't it?
Before writing such a threatening letter to someone shouldn't you take the time to politely contact them and ask some questions in a civil manner? No, of course not. That's because you like being a bully and pushing people around. That's easy to figure out from your imperious tone. It's completely possible the seller bought the product without any knowledge of a contract. But not according to you. And, even if the seller knew of the contract, you have to show the seller conspired to violate it.
Jackie, go steal some kid's lunch money.
