---- Trademark threat and moving domains

As I said DeeCee, they trademarked the two names very recently, but the sites have existed since 2000. There was no trademark conflict when we started.
Secondly, we have not been riding or targeting anyone, we are selling products and using domains that makes sense in the selling of that product. It would be like a dealership selling Fords and Chevys having FordChevy in their domain name. None of the companies involved sell direct to the public, just to suppliers, who we purchase from, and we are not taking any business away from that company.
As I also said we announce on the home page of the site that we are not the company that makes the items but here is a link to the company that does if you want more info. There is no attempt to pretend to be the firm or disparage that firm, there is nothing to 'fight back' against.
If anything they just want the extra website and realise we are using the one they want.

And for those that asked about area....we, and the company in question, are US based.
