Man you have got big ones lol but good for you. Maybe the management team from Power Water Grizzly Heads and (don't) Go Racing are on the board of governor's .If they spent as much time worrying about the series as they spend worrying about you then it would be credible, thus far it really is absurd .I heard Canadian Tire called Nascar about it and they were told to take a hike "we are busy with a schedule issue"
Nope how can they sue for two common words. Canadian and Tire. read this site http://www.dnjournal.com/legal/sl-genericdomains.htm
I could careless and I don't shop at crappy tire before this anyways as they are a bunch off crooks and don't care what their franchises do. I had a problem when with my car and paid 600 to fix and it was never fixed and the head office said I had to deal with the store I made huge complaint with a company they use to make complaints and no one called me back they are just selling a franchise can could careless about you.
Support them all you like but I don't and never will as they use bully tactics.
You have too be doing it in bad faith and I never contacted them for money nor was the site in use. So now they want to use it for what it is the NASCAR series not theirs.
Looks bad on them they don't even have a like on the Nascarcanadiantireseries web site they should worry more about that but they want to fight about little things.
Remember there is a lot of other big box stores selling the same stuff they sell so keep pissing people off like you do and you wont have customers and I can say this as this is about the bad service I got at there Dundas stores the people in the automotive won't even get the manager when you ask for one and told me to go find one. Great customer service I'm from a retail background and If I said this to a customer I would have been told to look for e new job.
They can say what they want this will hurt them more then it does me as the names are just sitting there but they are getting bad press over this. They could have been nice about it at least NASCAR worked with me and we did it the right way. Yes I was pissed about the way they went after the cascaronline.com site that was the big issue as I owned that for many years.
Oh well I'm not telling you too not shop at their stores I just choose not to and I can do that if I like.
Also I have owned the site since dec 2006 and it has 2 hits on it to date.
I forgot to metion I own a domain name called tireseries.com and it is also used to list manufactures that sell Canadian Tire makers and resellers. SO mamybe they sould come after this as well. Boy they should find out what they names is used for before they sick the dogs after me.
I took down the tires series site and copying it over to the site that was used as a forwarding to it. So read up people and tell em I'm not allowed to tell people where canadian tire maufatures and or who sells them?
I hate to say it, but Canadian Tire can take legal action over likeness rights. You are right, Canadian is a common word and so is Tire, but when you put them together they arent common words...its a brand name, "Canadian Tire"
And I see your point totally, and dont think that Im out to be the bad guy or anything, but the best advice that I can think of would be to just give up the domain. Is something so trivial really worth the breath? Especially when your dealing with a company that seemingly has more money than brains.
Every point you have made has a certian amount of truth to it, but Im pretty sure they could find ways around it. I mean really - they find ways around selling you junk and charging an arm and a leg to install it, so Im guessing that this is just "small potatoes".
Good luck to you if you do try to fight it, but I honestly dont see you getting too far, C.T. just has way too much money and influence, if they want it bad enough...they will probably get it.
