Sorry, I was in a hurry to make a lunch appointment so I should have clarified |
| 12 |
this a bit: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
CP Will require a payment method (like our bankcard), so we can do the one |
| 15 |
year regardless of what we have "made". My reluctance in signing up for a |
| 16 |
whole year is in case someone is unhappy with that commitment. (to be |
| 17 |
strictly legit about it, the current board could easily agree to a year, but |
| 18 |
if the new board is unhappy with that then they are out the money, albeit in |
| 19 |
this case the money is really not that much). |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
While we are on the topic of CP and money, any commission we make gets held |
| 22 |
for something like 45 days. This allows the payment to clear, the order to |
| 23 |
ship, and CP's 30 day return policy. This is cool with me as I don't think |
| 24 |
we will be in a "dire need" for sale funds (and if that ever happens we can |
| 25 |
put a call for help and use paypal to get funds quickly). |

Cheers! |
