In response to Mr [redacted] desired settlement, we declineWe fulfilled every aspect of our contractIdea Buyer took on a risk of discounting our services for a percentage of upside and have worked hard to get that upsideWith the contract expiration upon us, Idea Buyer has also lost out on our resources invested into the project.? We are happy to provide Mr [redacted] ? with the website updated the way that he wanted to use with the rest of the? deliverables? he has already been provided with

We are sorry to hear about the experience that Ms [redacted] had with Idea BuyerWe have no complaints about working with Ms [redacted] The excitement for her product was genuine and still isWhen original communication with buyers was unsuccessful, Idea Buyer was disappointed but did not want to give up on it.? When realizing the contract was expired, Executive VP, [redacted] , contacted Ms [redacted] to explain that Idea Buyer wanted to continue to reach out to retailers for opportunitiesAdditionally, that without written consent to make contact on behalf of her product, we could notMs [redacted] was also informed that a contract extension would typically cost money because of the extension of resources, but that we would waive that because of the belief in Nitwick.? Idea Buyer did a complete revamp on the product's Sell Sheet and PackagingSeveral versions were made to appease Ms [redacted] 's preferencesNevertheless, Idea Buyer wanted to keep moving forwardIdea Buyer created new CADS to be able to get manufacturing quotes for productionWith the intent of producing units to be able to sell and build a record of sales and consumer desire, we received the quotesOur C.O.O., who runs the manufacturing management for Idea Buyer partner products, contacted Ms [redacted] to explain the quotes provided by the manufacturer.? We apologize if something was misunderstood by Ms [redacted] The quote for manufacturing was just that, a quoteThere was no request for money, simply an explanation of what it would cost to go through production.Ms [redacted] became very upset, stating that she did not have money for a production runAt that time, Idea Buyer began to consider the possibility of helping Ms [redacted] by covering, in entirety, her tooling, production and shipping costs through a licensing dealWe had an initial draft created by our intellectual property attorneyShe declined the offerAt this point, Idea Buyer is continuing with the extension of her contractThe outreach to retailers have and will continue, along with the social media and marketing strategy that was just sent to her, without it being included in her original contract.? We feel that we have done everything possible to help Ms [redacted] and to address any concerns she may have hadWe wish both Ms [redacted] and Nitwick well and hope to see her product available for retail purchase

I am rejecting this response because: I have yet to be contacted by IdeaBuyer, nor have I been able to get in contact with themAll phones are either disconnected or voicemails are full or are not receiving incoming callsI have sent numerous emails with no response in regards to the status of this projectI would like to know exactly what they feel they have completed within the last year, as I have not seen anything of substance to justify their terms of the contractI am seeking full refund of our investment Regards,

Idea Buyer has created and delivered all of the deliverables in Mr [redacted] ’s contract and proposal In addition, we have created multiple prototypes of his product that have been shown to retailers in the product’s retail spaceEach improvement to the design was based on input from Mr [redacted] , vendors, and/or other potential customersWhile we agree it is unfortunate that no retailer has pursued this product, our agreement is very clear that we cannot in any way guarantee success for any productFinally, we still believe this to still be a viable product with potential in retail, which is why we extended Mr [redacted] ’s agreement to keep the door open for interest

we had a call with her this morning and she is giving us until Friday to give her a deliverable she is satisfied with and we will have another call with her Friday morning

I am following up with a separate email on the files since we cannot include zipped files and there are an extensive amount of files Became a client on June 16, - attached the proposal and contractThe clients funded their agreement on 6/23/and communication started immediatelyThe client has had two emails addresses in use during our partnership and we have exchanged the following for each email address:Email address - 40+ emailsEmail address - 70+ emailsSeveral phone calls and conferences have taken place as well during our partnershipThe client’s communication has always been positive until we began testing the application through the existing technology that image recognition software providesWe have since built the client different versions and she has refused to approve any of them not allowing our team to continue our work.In June and July of this year is when the client began demanding a full refund after the following has been completed in her contract:-Professional branding completed and approved-Professional app specs wireframes approved-Professional patent filing - waiting on your approval-Professional trademark filing - finished - need client to confirm full legal name and address for filing completion-Professional app design completed and approved-Professional e-commerce website - this is linked to final app approval which is not confirmed yet-Monetization case - confirmed-End user agreement - in process-Target Social Media - confirmed when app is approved-Publicity - confirmed when app is approvedOur agreements are for months because these projects do not happen overnight and we need to work through creative problem solving together as partnersI am attaching the materials and emailing the ones that we cannot attachOur position is the same as it has been since several months ago of telling the client that we have done a large portion of the work and has already been approved, we also have spent additional funds in multiple development versions all of which the client has refused to approveWe want to try and find a way to work together and continue moving forward through development and launch

I am rejecting this response because: The focus was only on the Sell Sheet, which I wroteThe reason we went back forth was because I had to edit and write the Sell Sheet; they were more concerned about selling the products before making themThey promised me on the phone to have me up and running no later than months it's been now months and we haven't even started on the website which was the only thing they planned to do for my $10,After the site was build, they were going to try to sell products we have yet to make! The samples they sent to Ricky's were not the products we plan to sell to the market; it was advertisingThey sent me three samples of what they thought would be a logo or branding mark however, it was very unprofessional and unfit to wrap around a beauty product container, so I suggested that we stick with my original logoWe never had a conversation where everything was fineI was always the person who initiated contact, they never contacted me (one time) with any ideas of moving forwardInstead, they tried to appease me by suggesting they were going to work on my siteHowever, Feb, March, April, May and June went by with no contact from Idea BuyersI'm a small business very small, we've been hurt by this investment and could have used these funds to purchase inventory and advertise the current product line that I already haveNow I'm losing business because I can't keep up with my inventory which may drive me out of business.? If Idea Buyer's would have been honest and informed me that it may take up to two years to get started on my project I would not have sent them a paymentI have lost confidence that I deal Buyer was the right move for me and feel like I was suckered into a deal that they were not qualified to handle; they told me up front that they've never created hair-care products before, but were excited after doing a background check on the marketMy company has been damaged by this investment and I'm just asking for my money back!

I am rejecting this response because:The conversation today was very helpful and a move in the right direction to open the door for further discussionsHowever we still have a lot of ground to cover to bring this to resolution? Thank you for the information and assistance Regards, [redacted]

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the consumer in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and find that Mediation is necessary.Thank you

We would be willing to do mediation with Mr [redacted]

Dear Revdex.comWith regard to complaint # [redacted] ? First, Idea Buyers (IB) mentioned that they have been working for us free of charge over the last several months.? I didn’t know we were working on a timeframe.? There are no dates and times on the agendaWe asked for deadlines to be put in place multiple times.? We spent more than a year pursuing a patent for a product we did not have.? We were offering a service, therefore, no patent required .something IB should have known.? IB mentioned the number of emails sent.? The majority of them were back and forth emails trying to set up a time to talk to someone at IB.? I always felt that we were being avoided because they really had no real information to give us.? Common excuses would be ‘away on holiday’ or ‘wrapping up a call’ or ‘need to sit down with other team members’ and ‘away on other business’.I want to address Idea Buyer’s (IB) comments.? He expressed his disregard for the money that was paid.? $is a lot of money to come out of the average person’s purse especially with what we have received in return.? Although [redacted] may not have signed the contract she was heavily involved and also signed the check IB received.? He also showed his sudden disregard for [redacted] like she was not a part of this process as she has been involved from the onset.? ? Professional branding??? What branding have you done? ? ? What is IB definition of branding?? Professional Market research and professional business case could have been found on line ?" google.? We have been working with IB on a web site for over two years and still no operating website.? As far as timing, IB had the ball in their court 90% of the time.? ? ? On the documents mentioning the steps we were to take during the process did not show a date that the steps would be completed.? Trademark ok.? Video refund was provided because IB recognized the poor quality as well.? I still lost money on airline, hotel, and incidental costs, etc.? Good business sense would have been to do the video in my hometown at a reputable videographer location.? There again no regard for my money was shown by IB.With all the outreach done to universities and colleges, etc., still no outcome.Yes, we thought about continuing with IB, but to what end?? We have asked IB to give us an end result forecast to this venture and IB cannot and has not provided an answer.? We started approximately 3/15/and here we are at 7/and nothing.IB claims we were pushing for a new strategy ..what we were actually doing, as we have for two plus years is get IB to understand our vision.? You cannot get skilled nurses out of colleges.? In other words, IB was looking in the wrong places to find what I was asking for.? This is why my vision was provided early in the process.? There were multiple IB employees involved in this process due to high turnover rate or just a smoke screen, therefore, a possible breakdown in communications.IB is offering to continue the steps as outlined in the agenda.? years later we are still on step 1.? We are looking at what could be several years down the road.? For example, if it took years to get to where we are now (step 1)We are looking at more than yrstil start up.? This is unacceptableWe have asked IB since to send us an example of a service oriented company that they have set up.? No response.? IB mentioned that a FULL refund was not in orderAt this point, we deserve a full refund since IB knew at the beginning there was nothing they could do to get this business off the ground.? They just wanted our money.? We were scammed.? Had it been a special tool that we were trying to take to market IB might have had a better handle on what to do.? But we will accept a full/fair refund amount.? This is the only resolution that makes sense to us.? [redacted]

To date we have been partners for just over months into a month contractWe have made several attempts to set up a phone call with him to solve some of the communication issues documented belowWe have also taken exactly the files he has sent us to use and used them and he is still saying they are wrong - but they are taken directly from the files he sent us and instructed us to use? We have created new branding for him to use as an option, he said he did not want to use the branding we created but that he needed the labels he has to be in English since he did not have thoseWe created those and we also created the marketing material for us to be able to present to companies for his productBefore we send anything out to any company or contact we always have the client review and approve our materials and get the approval from them before moving forward [redacted] still has not done that or set up a call with us to discuss this instead he has requested his money back and become very negative in his communication

In regards to the complaint filed by Mr***, Idea Buyer has found several inaccuracies and missing informationWe first will start by addressing website specific statements claimed by Mr [redacted] and then will provide the Revdex.com with information Mr [redacted] neglected to share.? It is of our record that Mr [redacted] did pay our company $7,In the contract (see attachment/ email) dated November 2, you will find that the agreement states Mr [redacted] was contractually obligated to pay Idea Buyer $8,Additionally, the work outlined in the proposal has been completed as the ability presented itself.? It is of Idea Buyer practice that we provide our clients with updates and request feedback for any deliverables presentedMr [redacted] had every opportunity to request revisions to said deliverables and he took advantage of said opportunitiesIdea Buyer met every request in regards to his website which can be found at? http://official [redacted] .com/Our team is unsure as to why Mr [redacted] is unhappy with the website as we accommodated his requests for revisions.? In regards to his comments about the review section, any reviews that had been provided to Idea Buyer would have been usedIf Mr [redacted] did not provide the written reviews he wanted to be on the website, our developers would have used "filler" for coding purposes to make sure that the site worked properlyMr [redacted] would have had the opportunity to make changes before publicly promoting his website.Mr [redacted] is claiming that Idea Buyer only provided him with a websiteBelow we have outlined the deliverables provided to Mr [redacted] and the dates providedAttachments not able to be uploaded via the Revdex.com portal will be sent via email to [email protected] 28, 2015- Research report including sales projections and a licensing audit.January 6, 2016- Seven Logo concepts(Attached)Feburary 5, 2016- Two Shirt Design Concepts (Attached)Feburary 9, 2016- Three additional Shirt Design Concepts (Attached)April 21, 2016- Package Design Version (Attached)Mr [redacted] then additionally requested that we also provide him with tag designs for inside of the shirtsWhile not in his proposal, Idea Buyer did do several revisions of this deliverable.?

April 20, 2017- Idea Buyer added additional shirt designs to the client's website.? With new designs, our team did a second round of outreach, per buyer category schedules on July 7, 2017, July 31, and January 5, Updates were provided, including an email on August 31, stating "We are still reaching out to buyers and following up on previously contacted buyersI will email you with any feedback as I get it."Idea Buyer did not receive interest responses from those buyers either.? On January 24, Mr [redacted] began threatening Idea Buyer employeesHis first email stated that he wanted a full refund for "crap services and lies" within three days or that he would be filing a complaint on Revdex.com and FTC.? He spoke to two Idea Buyer employees who attempted to help him and he continued his threatsHe additionally threatened to contact news stations to tell them he is a disabled veteran and "this is how Idea Buyer treats disabled veterans"This threat of defamation is another example of how Mr [redacted] is falsifying his story to get what he wants.? As of yesterday afternoon, he let us know that he had hired an attorneyIdea Buyer legal is now available for that conversation with his attorneyHe also stated, "As promised, I have contacted the Revdex.com and FTC."? It is concerning that the Revdex.com is being misused by a consumer such as Mr***Mr [redacted] is blatantly defaming and slandering Idea Buyer while abusing the use of Revdex.com and FTC.? Like stated at the beginning of the response to Mr***'s complaint, he did not fulfill his contractual obligation, however Idea Buyer didThere will be no refund givenWe respectfully request this complaint be removed as it is and misuses the Revdex.com
