Plaintiff's damages, if any, said damages being specifically denied, must be reduced or eliminated by Plaintiff's failure to mitigate damages as required by law. 27. Plaintiff's claims are barred for improper venue. 28. Neither the alleged agreement attached to Plaintiff's Complaint, nor any applicable statue, entitles Plaintiff to pre judgment interest on any amount due and owing, which amounts allegedly owed and due are specifically denied. 29. Plaintiff's claims are barred because Plaintiff's claims are based on an alleged written agreement that is not attached to Plaintiff's Complaint as required by Pa.R.C.P. 1019. 30. While Defendant does not acknowledge that Defendant owes Plaintiff any 4 sums for services rendered, any such services allegedly rendered by Plaintiff on Defendants' behalf were defective and/or insufficient for Defendants' needs, of which Plaintiff knew or should have known. 31. Plaintiff's claims must be offset as a result of Plaintiff's failure to comply with the terms of it's agreement with Defendant, if any.
