It sounds like Rukka got way more than they paid for, both good and bad. At first, good because BFE kept advertising them when they didn't pay. Then later, bad because they couldn't man up and take care of their responsibilities. We have all had some hard financial situation come up. Some of us dealt with it like a grown up and some didn't.
I think the best course of action for both parties would be for rukkastixx and BFE to pro-rate the agreement and then have rukkastixx cut BFE a check for the pro-rated amount. They can part their ways BFE can delete the negative posts. Rukkastixx can make an effort to gain some trust back. I think it is great that they decided to put advertising money toward a sport we all love. Rukkastixx could have taken out an ad in a non-related sport. They had good intentions, but made poor choices when their intentions didn't turn into money in the bank. I didn't think they tasted all that bad(but I don't drink energy drinks so maybe they did). I would think either they make good on the contract or just write off the entire 4x4 community as a customer base and pursue other markets (from what the lawyer stated, that sounds like exactly what they will do).
The way Olaf handled the situation wouldn't scare me away from doing business with him.......unless I wasn't planning on paying

Exactly. Everyone seems to think business is about tea and crumpets. You screw with my company (non-profit or for-profit) and you'll get what's coming to you.

You had to do what you did Olaf. I appreciate what you have done for the rock crawling community. BFE is not a bank or financial investment organization, and should not have to carry anyone who has failed on their side of a contract. I operate a auto service center and I will not release a vehicle until it is paid in full. I tell my customers if you don't have the funds to repair your vehicle before repair, don't authorize them.
