A blood-monitoring business provided me , free of charge, a testing device , test strips, and weekly phone reporting, in 2010 and 2011. This month, August 2011 I received invoices for monthly service
dating back to January 2011. Maybe the business can require payment of a monthly fee from now on, but can it legally back- date the fees?
Answer
As a Franchise Attorney I can only say it depends on the contract you had with them. Did you agree to pay for this service? If so, you're obligated for at least the period within the statute of limitations. This is usually one year for oral contracts, and longer (usually 4 years) for a written agreement. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
