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  European  SysOp  Program  permits
QUALIFIED European
SysOp's to purchase current U.S. Robotics products at a
reduced  price.  The  purpose of  this  program  is  to
continue the close relationship established many  years
ago  between  U.S.  Robotics and the  SysOp  community.
Participants  should  recognise  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 scrutinising each SysOp sale to ensure that  we
only sell products to qualified SysOp's.


Qualifications :

1)  The SysOp states that he/she is not in the business
of   reselling   computer   products   and/or   related
peripherals, including modems. Qualified resellers  may
take  advantage  of  other  programs  offered  by  U.S.
Robotics by calling +33 20 19 19 39 and asking for  the
sales representative for your country.

2) The SysOp has been operating a Bulletin Board System
for  at  least one (1) month and this activity  can  be
verified  by  dialling into the bulletin board  system.
Typically  user logs, activity logs, and local  message
bases are a good source for verifying activity.

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.  Modems
purchased under this program MUST be used on one of the
stated  lines. Furthermore, the SysOp understands  that
the  number of serial cards that may be obtained is one
for each 2 modems ordered under the SysOp Program.

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 products.

6)  The SysOp agrees that he/she intends to operate the
bulletin  board, for which these modems are  purchased,
for  at  least six (6) months post purchase.  The  U.S.
Robotics logon must remain in effect for six (6) months
to  allow  verification that the bulletin board  is  in
place and that the U.S. Robotics promotional message is
being displayed.

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 authorisation will be null and void.

8)  The  SysOp understands that processing of an  order
will  take from one (1) to four (4) weeks depending  on
the number of orders being processed by the
SysOp  Support Department, and difficulty in  verifying
your bulletin board. Shipment of product will take from
one  (1) to four (4) weeks pending availability of  the
particular  product  ordered. U.S. Robotics  will  ship
product(s)  to  QUALIFIED SysOp's as soon  as  possible
after :

A)  The  SysOp logs in on the USR BBS +33 20 05 32  41,
  where  he  finds all the information about the  SysOp
  deal,  if he wants to place an order he has  to  fill
  out  the  questionnaire on line as  for  no  mail  in
  orders will be accepted.
  Orders paid with credit card will be processed  after
  card number verification.
  Orders paid with money order or cashier's check  will
  not  be processed until payment has been received  by
  U.S. Robotics. 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

         ***** We DO NOT accept CASH payments. *****

  It  is  imperative that the SysOp name, order number,
  voice   phone  number  and  BBS  phone   number   are
  indicated for identification purposes. A personal  or
  company  check  is acceptable, but shipping  will  be
  delayed for ten (10) working days to ensure that  the
  check  clears  our bank. NO CHECKS  OR  MONEY  ORDERS
  WILL  BE DEPOSITED BY U.S. ROBOTICS UNTIL THE SYSOP's
  BBS HAS BEEN VERIFIED.

 B) The SysOp understands that once an order is placed,
  it  CANNOT be changed. If you are uncertain as to the
  product you want to purchase under this program,  you
  may  consult the USR Information Area of our BBS  for
  product information.

 C)  Your  board will be verified by the U.S.  Robotics
  SysOp Administrator. 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 U.S.  Robotics  via
  your  board  or by mail or voice. 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 modify, change
or cancel this program at any time.


ADDENDUM

We  realise 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.
This   information  will  only  be  requested  by  U.S.
Robotics in rare cases and can not be used solely as  a
means of qualification.

Before  placing an order, please take steps  to  ensure
the process goes as easily as possible.
1 Post the logon notice which states that your BBS uses
 U.S.   Robotics brand modems.
2 Create a login for U.S. Robotics
3 Ensure no questionnaires or voting is necessary
4   If  your  logon  requires  information  other  than
 password  be sure to include this information  on  the
 order.
5  Once  this  is  established  logon  under  the  U.S.
 Robotics ID and look for verifiable proof of 6  months
 activity. If you can't find it, odds are we  won't  be
 able to either.

US Robotics CAN NOT download special software to verify
your BBS. We support the basic communication platforms.

U.S.  Robotics is determined to provide a SysOp Program
which  is  fair and equitable to everyone. Any requests
made of SysOp's 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 responding to our  requests
for additional information in a prompt manner.

               THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING US-ROBOTICS
