Think a twice when you make a contract

This article is about a contract break and defaulting. There are 2 parties Itelco and Scarlet Telecom. In 2007 they made an agreement in which Itelco took the sale of Scarlet’s telecommunication services. Everything was perfect in order. Gert Post, managing director of Itelco Group told in a message that the cooperation with Itelco had caused for an important sells increase . After this augmentation everything went wrong. Scarlet terminated the cooperation and refused to pay the services done. A month later, Itelco went to the court and they lodge a complaint against Scarlet Telecom. They claim a compensation of 5milion euro’s because of ending the contract in which Itelco care for the Scarlets B2B-services. The complaint dated almost 1year but it announced 3months ago by the website of Data News. In this article Gert Post, managing director of Scarlet is saying that the case isn’t such horrible as it looks. However Frederick De Sloover, managing director of Itelco Group is completely against the statement of Gert Post where he minimized the problem. In a conversation with an IT Professional he accentuated that it isn’t a dispute about the sales as Post pretended. He said also that it is about a contract break, defaulting and unfair competition. The complaint lodged to the court of justice of Brussel. By the way, Belgacom made an offer on Scarlet, it is now waiting for the reaction.
Opinion:
I am completely agree with the approach of Itelco about the case. They followed the normal process by going to the court. It is finally about a serious agreement concerned about lot of money. Scarlet behaved in an unethical way what caused for problems for Itelco Company. Itelco can come through the problems with the offer of Belgacom they got. But on the other side, Scarlet will gets lots of problems, there is a difficult time waiting for Scarlet.
