Dear Sirs,
Re: Cease and Desist Defamation Notice
We have been instructed by our client, SIEN (the “Company” or “Client””), to write to you with respect to your slandering, misleading and offensive behavior, as follows:
1.Our Client is the developer and sole owner of the “1stbrowser” internet browser, including any and all of the related content, logos, trade-names, copyrights as well as derivative proprietary rights (the “Company Product”).
2.Recently, it has come to our Client’s attention that you are using Company’s well-known trade name and brand (i.e., “1stBrowser”) (the “Brand”) in bad faith and in an unauthorized manner in order to promote and misdirect users to your affiliated website: http://www.system-tips.net/ which offers the download and install of a security software product known as “GridinSoft Anti-Malware” (the “Security Product”).
3.The information presented in the aforesaid website and specifically in the following publication available at http://www.system-tips.net/how-to-uninstall-1stbrowser-automatically/ (the “Defamatory Content”) is false, deceptive, misleading and slandering to the Company’s Product, goodwill, reputation as well as harms the Company’s business, among others.
4.The Defamatory Content suggests and even straight forward states that the Company engages in deceitful activities as well as refers to the Company Product as a “virus”, “adware” and even “malware”, all, without establishing any grounds for such statements therein. Such slandering of the Company Product, goodwill and reputation in order to promote and attract users to download and install the Security Product is deemed as an unjust enrichment at the expense of the Company Product.
5.Your foregoing conduct constitutes libel and slander per se as it depicts the Company as engaging in dishonest business activity and deceitful activity that violates civil and criminal laws. Such conduct is in itself clear evidence of willful defamation and also constitutes tortious interference with the business and contractual relations of the Company. Moreover, as the Security Product does not always only removes the Company Product but also removes various softwares, applications and products from the users’ device, you are deliberately misleading users to downloading the Security Product, hence violating various regulations including without limitations the requirements under the Federal Trade Commission “Truth in Advertising” guidelines available here: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/media-resources/truth-advertising.
6.Your attempts to spread libelous and defamatory material about the Company and the Company Product as well as your use of the Company’s Brand to promote the Security Product, have caused and continue to cause serious and irreparable damages to the Company, the Company Product, its reputation and its business. With every hour that goes by the Company loses current users and potential users. This pejorative manner of conduct is unacceptable to our Client; our Client cannot and will not stand by and allow such slandering and opportunistic conduct to continue. The Company has invested a great deal of time, money and effort in maintaining a meticulous reputation.
7.We hereby demand that you:
a)Immediately remove of the Defamatory Content from your website as well as any other defamatory remarks regarding the Company and Company Product;
b)Immediately cease and desist from posting any additional defamatory statements about the Company and the Company Product, whether the statements are made by you or third parties;
c)Immediately cease and desist from your unauthorized use of the Company’s Product name, trade-names and logos;
d)Refrain from any future use of the Company’s trade-names and logos, Company’s reputation and the Company Product in promoting and advertising the Security Product or deriving traffic to your website without the Company’s prior explicit written consent.
We demand that you accede to our demands within 10 days of your receipt of this notice.
8.Nothing in this notice shall serve or be deemed to serve as a waiver by the Company of any claim, defense, argument or other assertion of rights. Moreover, we reserve all of our Client’s rights and recourses against you, to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, including injunctive relief, monetary damages, punitive damages, attorney fees, etc.
