What to Do When You Get a Vorys Cease and Desist

Vova: Hey, David! Cease and desist letters can be stressful and overwhelming, especially when you're unsure how to respond. 

But what about getting one from Vorys Law Firm? 

Why do they send these letters, and what should you do next?

David: Hey, Vova. That's true! 

Vorys Law Firm sends out a lot of letters to Amazon sellers, and these letters can feel very serious. 

If you find yourself in this situation, there are a few important things to check.

First, it’s crucial to ensure that the products you are selling are authentic. 

You might already know this, but it is essential. 

To confirm authenticity, reach out to your suppliers. 

This step might seem obvious, but it is very important.

Next, you should carefully read the claims made in the letter. 

Vorys often argues that the products you sell are “materially different.” 

This can mean several things. 

First, check for any physical differences in the products. 

Make sure that what you are selling matches exactly what is expected.

For example, look at the packaging. 

It should be current and in good condition. 

Avoid selling products that have old packaging or that have any marks, like crossed-out serial numbers. 

Your products should appear just like they would if they were on the shelf of a retail store. 

They should not look less appealing than how an authorized distributor or the brand itself would present them.

The second thing to consider is the non-physical differences in the products. 

Vorys Law Firm often mentions things like warranties or satisfaction guarantees when they make their claims. 

You need to compare these with Amazon’s A-to-Z Guarantee.

For example, if a brand offers a lifetime warranty, it means that customers can return the product anytime during their lives. 

While this is a rare situation, it shows a significant difference when compared to Amazon’s A-to-Z Guarantee. 

Customers might see this difference as important.

On the other hand, if a brand only provides a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, that is very similar to what Amazon offers through their A-to-Z Guarantee. 

In such cases, I would argue that this is not a real material difference. 

Vorys may not point this out, and they tend to claim that almost everything is materially different, even when that is not entirely true.

Lastly, let’s talk about quality controls. 

Vorys Law Firm often claims that the brand and authorized distributors follow strict quality control measures. 

It is important to check whether these claims are genuine and substantial. 

For instance, some products might need to be stored at specific temperatures to maintain their quality. 

If an unauthorized seller does not follow these guidelines, the brand could argue that this is a valid reason for their claim.

However, in many cases, this argument may not hold much weight. 

Sometimes, it just seems like a tactic to push unauthorized sellers out of the market without any real difference in quality. 

So, it is important to look into these claims carefully.

Vorys is known for being a very aggressive law firm, and I do not recommend ignoring any letters you receive from them. 

Instead, take the time to review these points when you get a letter. 

Understanding these aspects can help you respond appropriately and protect your business.
