Associate Terms and Conditions

So after a false start glitch last week, the official Associate Terms and Conditions were finally posted so here they are for your perusal, if you're interested.

After reviewing them, I don't see anything out of the ordinary but I did want to spend a bit of time writing about online advertising, trademark and copyright protection. During the associates only call today, Darius explained that it is normal to protect the brand and this type of legal language has to be there for that to make sure there is no abuse, however, he did acknowledge that some of us are already using the Pyxism name on our sites and that we could enter into license agreements to continue to do so. So I sent off my email request and we'll see how it goes. I do have to say that this type of openness to ironing out of issues, and readiness to adapt are indicative of a company culture that seems rather inclusive and progressive. As a matter of fact, during the call, Lloyd Wilson admitted that he was proud of the caliber of the leaders and associates and referred to us as a special breed of networker - dedicated to teamwork and to creating a company of value added resellers.
