Dell Sues Tiger Direct for False Advertising and Misleading

Dell is suing popular online retailer, Tiger Direct, claiming that Tiger violated its resale contract they had with them which included false advertising, misleading representation and unfair competition. Dell has accused Tiger Direct of selling old and out-dated Dell computers that Tiger Direct purchased from other resellers and then saying they were brand new directly from Dell. They also passed the computers off as still having a full warranty but the warranties had expired long ago.

Dell also states that customers would call Dell asking how Tiger Direct could sell products at such low prices and asked Dell to match the prices.

According to the lawsuit Tiger Direct also allegedly promised that Dell would provide three months of support for any Dell product bought from Tiger Direct, even after knowing that some of the warranties had expired already.
