Fujifilm Sues JAL Equity, Marketing.com for Breach of Contract

On April 30, Fujifilm North America Corp. filed a complaint against Marketing.com and its parent organization JAL Equity, alleging breach of contract to pay past due payments. In total, Fujifilm alleges Marketing.com is liable for $381,759.74 — “comprising the entire accelerated unpaid balance of $347,054.31 and 10% late fees of $34,705.43, plus accrued interest and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs for collection,” according to the complaint.

The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, alleges that Marketing.com is in breach of an Installment Payment Agreement for Past Due Amounts dated Jan. 2, 2026. The agreement was made to address “unpaid accounts receivable balances due and owing to Fujifilm for product purchases totaling $347,054.31,” according to the agreement.

Per the lawsuit, the agreement laid out a plan for Marketing.com to make “26 consecutive weekly installment payments, each in the amount of $13,348.24, commencing January 2, 2026,” but the company “[defaulted] from the very first installment.” Fujifilm attempted to collect payment from Marketing.com through March 23, according to the court documents.

The second part of Fujifilm’s suit alleges breach of contract against JAL Equity. The allegation is in relation to a Guaranty executed on Jan. 2, in which “JAL Equity unconditionally and absolutely guaranteed full and prompt payment of all payment obligations of Marketing.com under the Payment Agreement,” according to the filing.

On March 24, when Fujifilm allegedly still had not received payment from Marketing.com, it “made a demand upon JAL Equity, as guarantor, for payment of all amounts due and owing by Marketing.com under the Payment Agreement,” according to the complaint. Fujifilm alleges it did not receive payment from JAL Equity either.

In two summonses dated May 1, Marketing.com and JAL Equity were ordered to respond to Fujifilm’s complaint or ask the judge to dismiss or limit the case within 21 days.
