WHAT IS YOUR COMPLAINT?

Name of mass media invention promoter advertised in: Warner Cable – “Davison” Design & Development Inc.

Invention promotion services offered to be performed: Evaluate, research, license and patent, make a virtual product, proto-type, finished product and marketing for retail.

Explanation of complaint between customer and invention promoter: I was told that I needed to pay $675.00 (up front) for the Inventegration Process to start. I paid the above cost to Davison, no other money was ever mentioned that would be needed to be paid in the future. I was then informed by one of Davison’s representatives, by phone and then by company documents mailed to me, that I now needed to submit more money for a retainer fee and for royalties. There were “4” options that were presented to me, I chose option “4” the least expensive for the amount of 8,475.00 and an additional 10% of any future royalties assigned to Davison. I chose this option but did not give Davison any retainer money. When this (the above) compensation to Davison was presented to me about 2 weeks ago. I became very wary and suspicious! I stopped all communications and dealings with Davison and did not pay any more money. I wish I never paid the $675.00!!!
