Where did you hear about Landscape Juice
Phil Voice found me!

Agree with Helen that you probably don't have a great case. Unfortunately, I suspect you won't be too keen on committing to give these people a further chunk of your hard earned money, either! You don't say what kind of publication this is, but a publication delay of 3 months probably isn't enough to claim a fundamental breach of contract (i.e. failure to publish).
In reply to your email on Goods and Services, Richard, the terms don't sound in your favour to me, but could you use the delay to negotiate a hefty reduction for another advert some time, in this publication or a sister publication?
Regarding accounts, all I would do is run the system and then enter a batch figure for the month, so much simpler and we have complete control over invoicing etc whereas packages tend to tie you itno what they want you to do.
For Landscape Juice members I have knocked 20% off what I normally charge.
Generally it would be around £1,000 which I would invoice over 6 to 12 months.
The scheduling is based around 4 standard treatments per year, you can run notification letters re reminders of treatments and these can be e mailed reducing costs. Records of all past treatments are shown on the job sheet allowing easy referral for lawn condition etc.
The system is integrated to allow for easy invoicing, payments by cash/chq/dd/so etc
Reminder letters automatically generated and again sent by e mail if required.
Nice little system if I say it myself.
What I can do is download a trial system to you and I use a log in system so that I can come on line and sort any issues out.
Currently I supply several Lawn Doctor Fanchisee's with my system, Lawn Master run their whole system on a similar suite.

I develop software for lawn treatments companies, both large and small.
The program handles all aspects of scheduling customer treatments, special treatments thro to invoicing and credit control.
Costs are very reasonable and spread over 12 months and the software is configured for the possibility of a franchise operation.
