INTRODUCTION

Pym’s Technology Lawyers is pleased to provide information in respect of selling, maintaining and supporting hardware for visitors to the AIIA.biz website.  This section provides information in respect to agreements for the sale of hardware and maintenance of that hardware, which are available to all visitors to the AIIA.biz website.  There are additional sections of “Key Commercial Issues” and “Tips to Make Money” which are Premium Content and are only available to AIIA Members.

HARDWARE SALE AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS

In this section we discuss the issues that are relevant to the sale of hardware products and their maintenance.  Whilst the primary focus is on those organisations that manufacture and maintain their own hardware, we have also provided advice for those people who are distributors or resellers of equipment that is owned by a third party original equipment manufacturer (OEM).  Whilst many of the considerations for reseller agents and distributors are the same, distributors have the additional consideration of ensuring that the agreement with the OEM can be back-to-backed with the ICT supplier’s agreement with its customers.  The section entitled “Reseller Agents and Distributors” describes the differences between Reseller Agents and Distributors and some of the key issues for each of them.
