Hello PIPS Members,
Below are email messages sent back and forth between myself and Tom Broadbridge concerning when DVD number 2 or episode 2 would be sent out to PIPS members who had paid for the whole series through the special offer. Since the first episode was sent out and I did receive it, I believe Tom and his company were paid appropriately for all and should send all episodes as they continue to be produced, regardless of the current situation with PIPS. I did not see any indication of any conditions on the website or receipt, relating to the release of episodes being dependent on any other event happening. The bottom line here is that “THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SENT OUT ANY DVD’s (even if it was only a partial shipment) IF THEY DID NOT RECEIVE PAYMENT. They accepted the payment (even if it was picpay) as consideration and are liable to fulfill their end of the contract (that being to ship the DVDs). What are your thoughts about this?

And you are a thief and crook. Don’t be surprised when you get a summons to appear in court.

(PIPS Member),

You are a fool!!

Your knowledge of the situation is abysmal.

When I as an independant company receive the money that is owed by PIPS/Picpay, I will ship the product and not before.

The thing is that you accepted the payment and considered it of value enough to send the first episode, so in my mind you have been paid forthright from me. In other words, you would not have sent the first episode, if you were not paid in full. Your website and receipt said nothing about any conditions concerning the releases of the episodes being dependent on any other event. I entered a contract with only you and fulfilled my end of the agreement with consideration that you considered good enough for the 12 episodes. I believe you were paid appropriately and are using the current situation of PIPS in order to dupe paying customers out of their money. I am not going to pay you twice for the same thing. Your business with me has nothing to do with PIPS.

You paid with Picpay, I can't deliver any further episodes until the situation with PIPS is resolved.

If you wish, you can purchase via credit card or Paypal from the website.

All the best

Tom
