business to keep abreast of needed technology and ensure the
protection of our customers as part of our 'cradle to grave' service offering. However, we are more than willing to work with our customers to find a service
program with a rate that works for them. We offer a variety of different
program levels and pick-up frequencies and can help to evaluate these options.
We will have one of our Managers reach out to Ms. [redacted] directly in order to review potential solutions to this matter.

While we regret Mr. [redacted] dissatisfaction, we believe we have acted in full accordance with the service agreement signed by Mr. [redacted]. They have insisted upon proceeding with the early termination of a service agreement still within its' initial term therefore we feel the liquidated damages provision outlined in section 2c is valid. Should Mr. [redacted] wish to resume discussions around continuing services with Stericycle and finishing out the remainder of their agreement, we would be happy to continue that dialogue.

We believe our agreement to be entirely valid and enforceable; [redacted] ENT has been a good customer to us over the years. In the interests of maintaining positive relations we will cancel account # [redacted] without penalty and removed the fees billed, leaving the balance due $0.00. We truly appreciate the opportunity we have had to serve [redacted] ENT over the years and wish continued success for the business.

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/10/21) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I am not interested in discussing any other options with Stericycle. Having been a loyal customer for over a decade, I am extremely disappointed in the fact that I was misled in my contract proposal in March 2014, and the subsequent lack of response when I reached out to customer service. I no longer wish to continue to do business with such a company. I wish to have my contract terminated immediately as previously requested.

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/08/27) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
The business has already offered me a reduced rate but I am not satisfied with it. I was originally told I could be out of this contract by now, yet they insist on holding me for another 29 months and won't let me go unless I pay $2215.33. They deceived me into signing the current contract and are charging an unreasonable fee for termination. I would like help from the Revdex.com to resolve this if Stericycle is unwilling to terminate the contract without paying any liquidated damages.
Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 15, 2015/09/22) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Stericycle is unwilling to release me from the contract unless I pay a termination fee of $2215.33. This fee is equivalent to half the monthly rate multiplied by the remaining term of the contract (29 months).
I am not willing to pay this for three reasons. First, in 2013 Stericycle deceived me into renewing my contract. The contract was originally signed in 2010 and was to terminate in 2015. In 2013, I called Stericycle to complain about the large increase in their rates (which exceeded what was allowed by the contract). During that conversation, Stericycle's representative orally represented that I would have to sign a new contract for the reduced rate but that my contractual term would not be extended (it would still end in 2015). Instead, Stericycle misled me into signing a new contract that would end in 2018.
Second, the termination fee that Stericycle wants me to pay is excessive and unreasonable. By charging me half the monthly rate for the entire remainder of the contract term, the termination fee appears designed solely to coerce my performance rather than to estimate the damages that Stericycle would incur in the event of my termination. I am willing to pay, at most, nominal damages to Stericycle to release me from the contract.
Third, since June, Stericycle has not provided me with any services whatsoever, yet continues to send me invoices.

While we regret Dr.[redacted] dissatisfaction, we believe we have acted in full accordance with the service agreement signed by Dr. [redacted] office. We have offered to work with Dr.[redacted] office on potential resolutions to this matter, however this account does have a signed service agreement on file that does not expire until February 1, 2018 and they have insisted upon proceeding with the early termination of a service agreement still within its' initial term, therefore we feel the liquidated damages provision outlined in section 2c is valid. Should Dr. [redacted] wish to resume discussions around continuing services with Stericycle and finishing out the remainder of their agreement, we would be happy to continue that dialogue.

Although we believe our agreement to be entirely valid and enforceable, [redacted] Ave. Dental Group has been a good customer to us over the years. In the interests of maintaining positive relations Stericycle will waive of the current liquidated damages previously billed, leaving the balance due $0.00. We truly appreciate the opportunity we have had to serve [redacted] Ave. Dental Group over the years and wish continued success for the business.
