U.S. Robotics European SysOp Program General : This section describes the rules of the U.S. Robotics European SysOp Program. U.S. Robotics reserves the right to modify or change these rules at any time. Scope : The U.S. Robotics SysOp Program permits QUALIFIED European SysOps to purchase current U.S. Robotics modem products at a reduced price. The purpose of this program is to continue the close relationship established many years ago. Participants should recognize that our ability to continue the program is dependent upon the strong position U.S. Robotics enjoys in the reseller channel with the distributors and dealers, VARs, etc. that continue to buy and resell our products to home and business users around the world. It is our intent to maintain the integrity of our channel relationships by closely scrutinizing each SysOp sale to ensure that we only sell modems to qualified SysOps. Qualifications : 1) The SysOp states that he/she is not in the business of reselling computer products and/or related peripherals, including modem products. Qualified resellers may take advantage of other programs offered by U.S. Robotics by calling +33 20 47 12 10 and asking for the Marketing/Sales representative for your country. 2) The SysOp has been operating a Bulletin Board System for at least one (1) month. 3) The SysOp understands that the number of modems that may be obtained under this program is limited to the number of working, verifiable data lines. Data lines must be dedicated for modem use only and must be available 24 hours a day for modem access. 4) Regardless of the number of datalines, the maximum quantity of modems that may be purchased is four (4) if the Bulletin Board System has been working for at least six (6) months, and one (1) if it has been working between one (1) and six (6) months. In the latter case, the SysOp must provide the invoice of the BBS software registration. 5) The SysOp agrees to post an appropriate logon notice, visible to all users of the bulletin board, which states that this bulletin board uses and supports U.S. Robotics brand modems. 6) The SysOp agrees that he/she intends to operate the bulletin board, for which these modems are purchased, for at least 6 months post purchase. Therefore, a SysOp cannot place two (2) orders within the same 6 month time frame. 7) The SysOp agrees that, in order to avoid conflict with the U.S. Robotics reseller channel, modems purchased under this program cannot be re-sold without the expressed written consent of U.S. Robotics. Violation of this policy will result in the SysOp's being ineligible for future participation in the U.S. Robotics SysOp program. In addition, any warranties on modems re-sold without U.S. Robotics authorization will be null and void. 8) The SysOp understands that processing of an order will take from four (4) to eight (8) weeks depending on the number of orders being processed by the SysOp Support Department, the time required to verify your bulletin board and the availability of the particular modem ordered. U.S. Robotics will ship modem(s) to QUALIFIED SysOps as soon as possible after : a) The SysOp completes the order form and questionnaire found on the USR BBS +33 20 05 99 45. These must be filled-out as no mail-in orders are currently accepted. Orders paid with credit card will be processed after card number verification. After placing an order on the board, a SysOp wishing to pay his/her order with cashier's check or money order should send it to : U.S. Robotics s.a. European SYSOP Program Cityparc, 3 Rue Lavoisier F-59650 Villeneuve d'Ascq FRANCE It is imperative that the SysOp name, voice phone number and BBS phone number are indicated for identification purposes. A payment accompanying an order must first clear our bank, before the order can be processed. This normally takes 10-15 working days. b) The SysOp further understands that at once an order is placed, it CANNOT be changed. If you are uncertain as to which type of modem to purchase under this program, you may consult the USR Information Area of our BBS for product information, or, you may send a Fax to the SysOp Support Department at : +33 20 05 99 46. c) Your board will be verified by the U.S. Robotics SysOp. We MUST be able to connect with your bulletin board to verify board status. In the event that we are uncertain of your board status, you will be notified either by the Co-SysOp via your board or by mail. We will advise you as best we can as to what you need to provide in order to have your board verified (appropriate logon, copy of phone bill, software registration, etc). In no case will we verify a board until we are certain that it meets the requirements of the program. 9) U.S. Robotics will NOT accept phone-in orders. 10) U.S. Robotics reserves the right to change these rules at any time. ADDENDUM We realize that all Bulletin Boards are not the same and we are not always able to ascertain their validity during our normal verification process. In order not to exclude those Bulletin Boards from our program, we may request additional information such as copies of telephone bills, proof of software purchase and/or registration and network and association membership. U.S. Robotics is determined to provide a SysOp Program which is fair and equitable to everyone. Any requests made of SysOps in order to verify Bulletin Boards are made in order to ensure that the program serves the entire SysOp community and protect the USR distribution channel as well. We will make every effort to process each and every order in a professional and courteous manner. Please help us to provide the type of service you want and deserve by filling-out the order form as completely and accurately as possible and by responding to our requests for additional information in a prompt manner. *** THANK YOU ***
