張貼日期2011年3月21日

J&D Acquisitions表示已經對SeeDealerCost網站提起訴訟, 宣稱該網站使用它的合約和專利的訂價資訊 “會對我們的品牌和經銷商造成損害, 我們不會坐視不管.”

所有Larson, Seaswirl, FinCraft 和 Triumph 的經銷商和業務代表上週都有收到一封通知他們有關該法律行動的信. J&D Acquisitions 擁有Marquis和Carver遊艇.

該訴訟所在地是在明尼蘇達州亨尼奔郡.

董事長兼CEO Irwin Jacobs 在信上說, “請了解我們正全面調查SeeDealerCost.com網站是如何獲得我們的合約和專利的資訊. ㄧ旦確認消息來源, 你可以相信我們會採取適當的行動來處理那些人.”

Jacobs強調不能讓第三方知道這些資訊的重要性.

他說, “我們準備竭盡所能來保護我們的品牌和我們的經銷商, 這些不法的行為不會被容忍.”

上週正式上線的SeeDealerCost.com 網站, 列出了許多製造商的名字. J&D Acquisition 品牌裡, 只有Larson有自己的連結.

ㄧ位該網站的代表並沒有馬上回電發表評論.

J&D Acquisitions sues dealer-cost website

Posted on March 21, 2011

J&D Acquisitions said it filed a lawsuit against the SeeDealerCost.com website, alleging that the use of its contractual and proprietary pricing information "will damage our brands and our dealers and we will not stand for it."

A letter was sent last week to all Larson, Seaswirl, FinCraft and Triumph dealers and sales representatives to inform them of the legal action. J&D Acquisitions also owns Marquis and Carver yachts.

The suit was filed in Hennepin County, Minn.

"Please know that we are fully investigating how this site obtained our contractual and proprietary information," chairman and CEO Irwin Jacobs said in the letter. "Once such source is identified, you can trust that the appropriate actions will be taken to deal with these individuals."

Jacobs stressed the importance of not releasing such information to a third party.

"We are prepared to do everything in our power to protect our brands and our dealers," he said. "These illegal acts will not be tolerated."

The SeeDealerCost.com site, which launched last week, lists many builders by name. Of the J&D Acquisition brands, only Larson has its own link on the site.

A representative of the site did not immediately return calls for comment.
