Most Recent Purchase: 2/20/2009 11:32:23 AMTo claim that dotphoto is responsible for their abandoned photos is like moving out of your house, leaving your furniture in the yard, and returning 7 years later to ask what became of the furniture. The Kochmans have not actually purchased anything from dotphoto since 2009. They have not abided by the Terms and Conditions of the site, and would not be considered "customers" of most businesses.
