The data of a corporation is often critical to to the functioning of that corporation. This no mere laundry or household goods. If a real disaster occurred and a vendor balked at returning tapes due to a missed payment period and in doing so did grave damage to the company as the company potentially could then not recover their business in a timely fashion, I find it hard to believe the vendor would not be liable to some degree unless they had stated such policy in the contract. Even then they may still be liable... Well, thanks for the effort in any case. This was the wrong place to present a legal question, all apologies. However if I get the final word, I'll pass it along... may come in handy for you all down the road. - Jim --- Send mail for the `bblisa' mailing list to `[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
