Acme Revival Sues YoloLiv, Alleging It Violated Colorado Law by Withholding Repair Resources
Complaint alleges YoloLiv violated Colorado law by allegedly refusing repeated demands to provide Acme Revival with parts, manuals, software, firmware, diagnostic tools, and other materials needed to repair its streaming devices.
Denver, CO— Denver-based Acme Revival has filed a lawsuit against Hangzhou Xingxi Technology Co., Ltd. d/b/a YoloLiv, alleging that YoloLiv violated Colorado’s Consumer Repair Bill of Rights Act and the Colorado Consumer Protection Act by refusing to provide materials needed for independent repair.
The complaint was filed on October 7, 2026, in the District Court for the City and County of Denver. It concerns YoloLiv-branded digital electronic equipment, including YoloBox streaming encoders and monitors, the YoloBox Pro, and related covered devices used for live-streaming, video switching, encoding, recording, and monitoring.
According to the complaint, Acme Revival has received customer requests seeking repairs for YoloLiv devices since January 2026. The requested repairs involve electronic, mechanical, software, firmware, and related functionality. The devices contain components such as processors, circuit boards, touchscreens, displays, audio and video connections, power supplies, charging components, and embedded software that may require specialized repair materials.
Acme Revival alleges that it has been unable to accept, complete, or efficiently perform certain repairs because YoloLiv failed or refused to provide the necessary repair materials.
Those materials allegedly include replacement parts and assemblies, repair and service manuals, schematics, boardviews, embedded software, firmware, provisioning processes, diagnostic procedures, calibration tools, proprietary diagnostic software, and related technical resources.
The complaint states that Acme Revival submitted five separate demands beginning as early as July 10, 2026, through YoloLiv’s public-facing support channels, seeking access to those materials on fair and reasonable terms. It further alleges that YoloLiv either ignored the requests or expressly refused to provide the requested resources to independent repair providers.
According to the complaint, YoloLiv responded on multiple occasions in August 2026 that its internal service documentation, diagnostic tools, firmware utilities, calibration procedures, and other proprietary repair resources were reserved for its own service and technical teams. YoloLiv allegedly directed customers and independent repair providers to send devices to its official repair center in China rather than providing access to the requested materials.
The complaint further alleges that YoloLiv provided shipping instructions on August 23, 2026, advising customers to declare a device value of approximately $50 and avoid describing devices as used, repaired, or second-hand in shipping documentation. Acme Revival alleges that these instructions encouraged the understatement of device values and concealment of their condition in customs documents.
Colorado’s Consumer Repair Bill of Rights Act requires manufacturers of covered digital electronic equipment to make qualifying repair documentation, parts, embedded software, firmware, and tools available to owners and independent repair providers on fair and reasonable terms and costs, subject to statutory limitations and exemptions. The complaint alleges that YoloLiv’s refusal to comply with those requirements constitutes a deceptive trade practice under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act.
Acme Revival also alleges that YoloLiv’s refusal restricts independent repair options and may leave device owners dependent on manufacturer-controlled repair services in China, potentially requiring international shipping and limiting access to local repair alternatives.
According to the complaint, YoloLiv’s alleged refusal is not an isolated private dispute but reflects a general policy of reserving internal repair resources exclusively for its own technical and service teams. Acme Revival contends that the alleged practice restricts competition in the independent repair market and affects device owners, independent repair providers, and actual or potential consumers of YoloLiv devices and repair services.
The complaint alleges that YoloLiv’s continued refusal after repeated notice was knowing, willful, intentional, and in bad faith. Acme Revival claims that it has suffered lost repair revenue and profits, wasted diagnostic and administrative time, customer relationship harm, loss of goodwill, and lost present and future repair opportunities.
Through the lawsuit, Acme Revival seeks a declaration establishing YoloLiv’s obligations to provide qualifying repair materials for covered devices on fair and reasonable terms and costs. It also seeks a permanent injunction requiring YoloLiv to establish a reasonable process for requesting, ordering, accessing, and receiving those materials, along with damages, interest, costs, and attorney fees as permitted by law.
The case is Acme Revival, Inc. v. Hangzhou Xingxi Technology Co., Ltd. d/b/a YoloLiv, Case No. 2026CV33634. The allegations have not been adjudicated, and YoloLiv will have an opportunity to respond.
