The AADS Terminal Server business model

The AADS Terminal Server business model is based on the following directives:

• We make and support the AADS Terminal Server product
• Resellers around the world sell and support the AADS Terminal Server product range.

Two type of AADS Terminal Server Resellers

We do distinct 2 types of resellers:

• Primary Reseller : In some countries around the globe we have a partnership with 1, and only 1 Primary Reseller. The Primary Reseller does also take care of supplying the AADS Terminal Server product range to other local Resellers in the country.
• Reseller: In case there is no Primary Reseller in a country, we will supply directly the AADS Terminal Server Product range to all Resellers in a country.

Our offer to the Reseller

Our offer to you as a Reseller is as follows:

• If you are able to sell between 10 and 30 AADS Terminal Server Licenses each year, the discount is 30%.
• If you are able to sell more then 30 AADS Terminal Server Licenses each year, the discount is 50%.

Translation / Localization of the AADS Terminal Server product range

Resellers, and certainly Primary Resellers are encouraged to translate and localize the AADS Terminal Server product range. Details on HowTo Translate the AADS Terminal Server product range can be found here.
In general one can state the Translation / Localization of the AADS Terminal Server product range is quite easy to do, and can be done in less then 1 day.
The finished Translation can be sent / emailed to us, and we will include it in the whole AADS Terminal Server Product Range. It will be available for all customers around the world.
It is also possible for a Reseller to keep to translation to itself, add it to the AADS Terminal Server product range without our assistance, and supply the translation solely to its own customers. The details on HowTo Translate the AADS Terminal Server product range do explain this.

Reseller Requirements

The following requirements do apply for AADS Terminal Server Resellers:

• The Reseller must have a website.
• The website must have some relevance for the AADS Terminal Server product range.
• The website must mention the name, address and location of the Reseller.
• The Reseller must have options for customers to contact them, for instance by email or phone number.
• The Reseller is not allowed to use some kind of consumer email address like gmail or hotmail, as the primary email address for contacting us, or as the primary email address for contact with its customers.
• Somewhere on the website of the Reseller we would like to see a mentioning of reselling the AADS Terminal Server product range. For example:

www.reseller.com/aads/we_sell_aads.html

• Primary Resellers are granted the permission to have, optional, a localized AADS Terminal Server website in their country, including a local domainname. For example

www.aads-worldwide.us

• In case a Reseller does Translate the AADS Terminal Server product range, and does send the result to us, such that we include it in the whole AADS Terminal Server product range, the Reseller should follow us within a reasonable time frame with the translation-job, in case there are new lines of text that do need to be translated. The ChangeLog of the Translation does give you an impression of much (how little) work it is.

Supporting the AADS product range

Demo versions of the AADS Terminal Server product range are supported by us, regardless of who needs our support.
Paid versions of the AADS Terminal Server product range are supported by us, in case we know the customer from our administration.

We will always assist Resellers with support of issues, either because the Reseller needs support or a customer from the Reseller needs support.

If a customer of a Reseller seeks directly our support for the Paid version of a AADS Terminal Server product, we will support this customer if we know the customer. The Reseller can optional inform us about the customer using the Shipment customer procedure.
If a customer of a Reseller seeks our support for the Paid version of a AADS Terminal Server product, but we do not know this customer, because the Reseller has not used the Shipment customer procedure, we will not support this customer, but inform the customer that he should contact its AADS Terminal Server Reseller.
The Reseller can decide to use, or not to use the Shipment customer procedure for informing us about its customers.
If a Reseller chooses not to inform us about its customers, which is OK, the Reseller is expected to support all its customers. While doing so, at any moment the Reseller can seek our assistance for support of this customer.
