Dorrance charged my credit card $322.00 w/out my authorization FRAUD.

GROSS MISREPRESENTATION by Dorrance of the services Dorrance would provide and/or their ability to do so:(required me to approve or reject and make corrections,5 sets of page proofs when I had approved the 1st set of proofs).

Charged an extra $50.00 outside of agreement for the editor to fix (their) mistakes:(I reviewed and made the corrections as needed and submitted the corrections to Dorrance where the editor entered them.I DID THE EDITING).

Purposeful PROCEDURAL UNCONSCIONABLY to inform me that my cover design will not be used

BEFORE I signed the agreement:(At least 11 times BEFORE the ‘Dorrance Agreement” was signed my hand drawn cover was clearly known to all parties, including David Zeolla, President of Dorrance Publishing Company, Inc., who had approved the manuscript and cover.

Dorrance’s NEGLECT responding to my questions about the cover design:(Dorrance was emailed

questions 8 times (without any response to my emails from anyone) and I spoke on the phone 3 times with Ms. Lanza and discussed my cover BEFORE I signed the agreement).

Refusal to use my original or remake (that Dorrance requested), of the cover design:

(Dorrance requested that I remake and submit a different cover design. I did what was requested but they still refused to use my idea.

3 proposed cover designs that were totally unacceptable to use for my book:(The designs do not in any way project any content in my book nor my vision).

Dorrance staff’s IMPLICIT BIAS of the cover design interpretation of my cover design drawing: (Because of the staff’s implicit bias of the cover design interpretation of my drawing an agreement about the final cover can not be made).

The legal complaints listed above are issues to support a Breach Of Contract claim and therefore, the Breach Of Contract claim negates the Arbitration Clause of the contract. I have no faith in Dorrance anymore.

Desired outcome: Termination of AgreementRelease to me of any/all legal rights Refund $4,696.00
