Is this infringement, dilution, bad faith? Would I be held liable?

Subject: Re: Is this infringement, dilution, bad faith? Would I be held liable?

Comments:
: Several months ago, we contracted with an architectural firm to build an addition on our house. Over the months, the firm has been dragging it's feet on the project, while enjoying our substantial downpayments. In retrospect, I would have designed the contract differently, however, at this stage, I'm looking for a way to prompt them into action, without losing our money. : One idea I had was to acquire the .org & .net domains of the same name as the company. The company in question already owns the .com domain. I did a trademark search and they have properly registered their name XXXX, Inc. as a protected trademark. : My intent is to use the 2 sites as a chronicle of our experience with this company. I'm concerned, though, that I may be put in a position of liability by infringing on their trademark or other liabilities. I plan to use descriptive common terms to gain relevance in search engines. I also plan to use the company's name in reference to our contract and ongoing business dealings while describing our experience. My hope is that they view this as a potential means to gain favorable reviews of our business dealings and their level of service will consequently improve. : Would you be able to provide me with any guidance or advice? : I sincerely appreciate anything you might have to offer. : By the way, if it matters, we live in Illinois.
