 Tan Republic is taking me to small claims court for "breach of contract". Apparently, they can do that though they were providing the service and I was to pay them for that service. But here is the thing: when you don't pay them, they don't let you tan. So, though I took no service from them, and they were providing no service to me, they can still sue me for monies that I would have paid if I had actually gone tanning. In essence, I have to pay them for a service they did not provide. How is this possible? I am new to Oregon, and never heard of having to sign contracts for tanning salons, let alone a tanning salon that would sue me not for services given and not paid for, but no services given and they still want their money! I'm astounded, and will probably have to pay! Tan Republic seems to miss the mark on a number of things here, but most importantly, do they not get that it is bad for business to sue their customers for a service not provided, and dig so deep into their position that they lose sight of the value to good "word of mouth". I will tell everyone I can tell about this practice of theirs. There are many other tanning salons out there that do not have contracts and treat their customers with respect. And I will make that known as well.

Another novel concept on contract law...

Under your definition of contract law, if I decide I don't want Dish Network anymore and don't want to pay the early termination fee..I can just stop watching TV and there's nothing they can do about it...right? 

When they say I signed a contract, I'll cite your post here that they aren't providing the service anymore as I'm not using it.

What could possibly go wrong?

   I think you're missing the point.   You signed a contract that said you'd use their services AND pay them for a given period.    You didn't do what you promised you would.   Are you really so naive that you cannot figure out that you breached the contract?

" do they not get that it is bad for business to sue their customers for a service not provided "

   How is it bad business to sue "customers" that stiff them and do not fulfill contracts.    It would seem to me that those are the types of customers that they would not want any future business relationship with.   How is your "word of mouth" going to sound?    "Can you believe this company sued me just because I stiffed them on my contract?"   Frankly, unless you're planning to lie, you're going to end up sounding pretty stupid.
