Keep in mind that if you have to get a lawyer involved to fight it in court you can ring up a few grand in legal fees quite quickly, which most likely you will not be able to get back even if you do win. In a non-pwc related case I had with a local business they were clearly at fault and after suing them and settling out of court it still cost me $2500+ in legal fees. I am told the way a typical purchase, sale or service agreement works, unless specified by both parties up front does not specify who pays legal fees in a case of litigation.

I am certainly no lawyer though, just an experience I had...
