    Contract lawnotice of intent not to renew contract for services
    Are notices of intent not to renew enforceable in California, and if so, is there a limit on the damages assessed (liquidated damages)?

    Does the consumer legal remedies act apply to small business customers in California, or only "consumers" for personal use?

    I contracted for 3 years for hard line phone service for my small company. After three years, I just kept paying my omonthly fee. Now I want to change service but they said my three year contract automatically renewed because I did not give at least 90 day notice of my intent not to renew before the initial contract expired. The company is saying that I am 8 months into my new three year contract, which I never agreed to or realized that I agreed to, and wants to charge me for the remaining 28 months of service as a termination fee. Surely this is UNFAIR, DECEPTIVE, and UNREASONABLE. What do I hang my hat on, the CLRA, or the Business & prof code, or maybe the UCL? I am thinking CLRA, but I am a small business. Please help.

    Sounds like you didn't read the fine print. I suspect you will find, when you read the contract that you are required to give 90 notice of your intent not to renew. And if there is a such a clause, you are stuck.
