Maine reached a settlement in a lawsuit against Liberty Bell Moving and Storage over illegal business practices and threats against customers who left negative reviews.
The Thurgood Marshall federal courthouse during the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell in New York, Dec. 29, 2021.
The company had allegedly offered customers a contract that came with a clause that said any "bad reviews" on social media or review sites would be "deemed false and defamatory," according to McClatchy News. The company also warned of a "defamation fee" totaling $1,000 that would be assessed if the negative reviews are left up that would be subject to a 2.5% interest rate compounded daily – which "will essentially double the amount" to $2,000 after 30 days.Additionally, the company can no longer require customers to sign an "order for service" that contains a clause absolving Liberty Bell of all potential claims prior to service – a policy that violates Maine law.
