Let me start by saying that I was hesitant to post this but from the persuasion of a forum member decided to do it. I would just ask that you all have an open mind and understand that I am sincere in my post.
It’s a known fact that all businesses take time and go through growing pains. We do no dispute that we owed money to AreaBFE for a sponsorship. We have had every intention and have been making every effort possible to make this debt square. AreaBFE has made it a point the last week to paint a picture of RUKKASTIXX that we are just refusing to pay for our sponsorship. There are always two sides to every story. I am here to tell our side of the story that Olaf has decided to bring public. When we signed the contract for our sponsorship it was made clear to AreaBFE that we needed to wait for spring orders to come in to pay the balance of our contracted amount. I brought a check to Olaf at EJS this year as a down payment. As with many businesses, things didn’t go completely as planned financially for us. We discovered a few issues with our product that we felt strongly needed to be changed to make our product up to standards. Long story short when the time came to make our next payments we didn’t have the money. We didn’t hide from them. I was in constant contact with Olaf with where we were. We had problems come up with our financing. Again we never avoided AreaBFE and their attempts to collect. Olaf knew the entire time where we were at in regards to paying the debt. I had a phone conversation with Olaf where he said that “if I didn’t pay him his money by Friday he would go on facebook ,and the forums and Ruin me and my company” and “that he had enough pull and reach that he could do that in one day” I told Olaf that I would make smaller payments to pay down the debt until I could come up with the remaining money. He said that would be just fine. I told Olaf that I just needed to review my finances and see what I could do. 3 days later is when he started bashing us on facebook. The nest day a Post on this forum. AreaBFE also failed to mention in their previous posts that I personally delivered over $6,000 in product for them to sell at events to try and help them through the financial hardship we had put them through. Now this does not make things all better I know, but it shows that we were trying to do what is right. I wanted to come on here and let people know that we never avoided this debt. Up until AreaBFE started this bashing campaign we had every intention of paying the debt and were searching to ways to do that. At this point though how can we pay a company to promote our brand when they are all over the internet preaching about how bad we are? I personally support everything that AreaBFE has done and will continue to do for our sport. This is not an issue of us trying to avoid a debt, it’s simply a issue with us over committing and not being able to perform like we wish we could have.
Some of you will understand, some of you will not. But this is our side of the story that AreaBFE brought public when they should have dealt with it in private. I know we will still get flamed for over committing but at least our side of the story is out now. We are deeply sorry to AreaBFE for the problems we have caused, and we wish things would have happened differently. But, this is me taking reasonability for what has happened. I hope it does not sound like I am just making excuses because that was not my intent. We were in the wrong for not paying , but had AreaBFE not gone and tried to publicly bash RUKKASTIXX it would have been resolved by now.
Sincerely
Rukkastixx Management.
