Hello,I would like to request legal assistance regarding a commercial dispute with a Chinese factory dating back to 2008.At that time, I paid a deposit for an order. However, the beneficiary of the deal in my country cancelled the contract because the factory delayed the production and delivery. The factory later admitted in a clear email that the delay was due to the Chinese holidays, which is a direct violation of the agreed contract terms.After the cancellation, I requested a refund of my deposit, but the factory refused. Later, they sent me another email saying that the deposit would only be returned through a new order, without any formal approval or agreement from my side.I still have all emails, evidence, payment proof, and the original contract.I am seeking your help to recover my deposit and to understand the best legal approach to resolve this dispute.Please let me know what information or documents you need to proceed.Thank you.
