Whenever legal matters are discussed, it's best to seek advice from an expert, in this case, a lawyer, and not base these kinds of decisions on opinions from random people in a public forum.
Some common sense points: legally, your work is with your employer, not Itch. In other words, the only person who could legally take action is your employer, not you, since Itch doesn't legally owe you money. Remember that these legal issues need to be very specific.
Delay in payment is equivalent to unilateral breach of contract, right?!
It depends. If the terms of service specify that payment must be made within a certain timeframe and that timeframe isn't met, then yes.
Otherwise, it can be quite complex. For example, the tax information might have expired and need to be resubmitted. In that case, Itch wouldn't be legally responsible for the delay, etc.
After months of no response, would it be right for the dispute to go to court?!
Going to court is always an option, but the key is to be certain you have a legal basis for your claim. Otherwise, you're likely to lose, and you could even face a countersuit. That's why it's crucial to seek advice from a specialist lawyer.
Could all of this apply to interest due to the delay in payment and the depreciation of the money?
It depends on the terms of the lawsuit. If you can prove negligence and that it caused damages, you may be able to claim interest and even the costs of those damages.
I want to emphasize a very important point: just because you feel you're right doesn't mean you're legally right. Above all, you must prove your points, not just rely on common sense.
In other words, it's a fact that Itch has been late in paying your employer, but it's NOT a fact that it was Itch's negligence. You would need to prove that.
Please don't try to show it to me. I'm just telling you what I know. If you have proof or want to discuss it, it's best to do so with a specialist lawyer.
I don't think the bank would be responsible for this, but if it's true, then Itch should forward the charge to the bank. That's not our business, not our contract!
I don't know what contracts you have or the details of your case, but if your employer's bank denied Itch's payment, that could be a legal excuse. I know I'm going to sound repetitive, but I'll say it again: it's best to consult with a specialist lawyer.
Not a single official support person has been here yet because there is no support team (a.i.?)!
I don't quite understand this. The rules clearly state that Itch support cannot be contacted via the forum. By posting here, you are agreeing to these rules, and while I understand the frustration caused by the lack of information, the rules are clear on this point. You simply cannot contact staff or support through the forum.
