Any or all of the benefits associated with the TA vendor program may be changed or cancelled by TA at any time without notice or penalty. 2. Fees & Term. All vendor program fees shall be prepaid in the amounts specified on the TA vendor invoice. A one-time vendor program setup fee applies to all new vendors and previous vendors that go unpaid longer than 30 days. The normal term is month-to-month. The term commences the when the setup fee and the first pro-rated monthly fee is paid, renews automatically each month on the 25th, and terminates at the end of the last prepaid calendar month. 3. Regular Vendor Member Benefits. The following benefits are provided to vendor members. Weekly Vendor Email Blasts - When telecom agents, distributors or others join TA as a complimentary TA member (at www.TelecomAssociation.com or www.TAjoin.com) they agree to be subscribed to a separate "vendor email blast" ("VEB") list for each TA vendor. Through TA, each TA vendor can send up to one VEB per week to their TA VEB list. Most TA vendors use their TA VEB conservatively as any TA member can opt-out of any TA VEB at any time. VEBs sent out over the past seven days appear as "Vendor Email Blasts" at the www.TelecomAssociation.com home page. To see what all the VEBs look like when they are emailed out by TA simply click here to register as a TA member. TA Week in Review Email Newsletter Coverage - Every Friday, TA sends out its Week in Review ("WIR") email newsletter. The WIR highlights industry news, provides links to TA reports, interviews and archives and most importantly provides a summary of all the VEBs sent our for the week. So even if a TA member has unsubscribed from a vendor's individual TA VEB, the TA members will still see the vendor's headline via TA's WIR and click on a link to review any or all of the individual VEBs sent out that week. To subscribe to the TA WIR email newsletter simply click here to register as a TA member. Large Banner Ad on TA Home Page & WIR Email Newsletter - Each vendor member can have a large 300 x 300 pixel static or animated banner appear on the TA home page at www.TelecomAssociation.com and on the TA Week in Review Email Newsletter that goes out to all complimentary TA members every Friday. The single placement 300 x 300 vendor banner ads rotate with other vendor banner ads in alphabetic order at the TA homepage. The multiple-placement vendor banner ads on the WIR email newsletter appear in alphabetic order with the top going to the bottom weekly so every vendor gets their fair share of top placement throughout the year. Vendor Directory Listing - All TA members have access to TA's vendor directory where they can find the listing of regular TA vendors that distribute specific products or services or review a vendor's recent VEBs. TA Vendor Home Page - TA will create for each vendor a TA vendor "home page". This TA vendor home page will be the landing page that TA website visitors go to whenever they click on the TA vendor's name in any TA vendor directory or web page. The vendor's Ta home page will contain contact information for the vendor, appropriate links to the TA vendor's own website and links to all VEBs TA has sent out for the vendor. To see examples of TA vendor home pages simply click on the names of any TA vendor in the TA vendor directory. Access to TA's Proprietary Membership & Prospect Lists - Upon paying their setup fee, regular TA members may request a copy of TA's complimentary members' mailing addresses and phone numbers for the purpose of directly contacting the 2,000 complimentary TA members to inquire as to the complimentary TA members' interest in distributing the TA vendors' products or services. This list will include all complimentary TA members except those that have joined TA in the past 30 days. In addition, TA vendors have access to TA's "agent prospect" database of 22,000 business-to-business network services distributors, the same list TA uses to recruit new TA complimentary members.
TA Distribution of Vendor Publications - At the vendor's request, TA publish vendor white papers, POD casts, videos or any other publication the vendor wants circulated to the TA complimentary member audience. Other Management Consulting Services - TA may provide other general or customized management consulting services as requested by TA vendor and as allowed by TA resources. 4. Other Membership Conditions. Hold TA Harmless - TA attempts to provide vendors with the best value possible. Vendor acknowledges that TA's primary service to vendor is "information and access". Vendor agrees to hold TA harmless of any losses it may incur due to the use of any TA information or TA omission or misprint of information about vendor. Vendor additionally agrees to hold TA harmless in any actions or losses resulting from vendor's access to TA vendor benefits. No Endorsement By TA - Vendor acknowledges TA vendor membership does not constitute an endorsement by TA of the vendor's program, products and services. No Returns - TA accepts no returns for any of its vendor services or benefits. TA will not refund any money or provide any credit for any "unused" vendor service. Fair Dealings, Open Communications & Vendor Suspension - Vendor agrees to deal fairly and communicate openly with TA members. If a TA member files a formal written statement of complaint with TA regarding vendor and TA forwards the statement to vendor for official comments, vendor will communicate with TA and/or TA member regarding the statement. Failure to do so may be grounds for TA to suspend vendor's access to TA vendor program benefits and/or services after 30 calendar days written notice and failure by vendor to properly address complaints. Understanding and Acceptance of Agreement - By paying any fees, vendor acknowledges understanding and acceptance of TA's current vendor program agreement. 5. TA Contact Information.
