Are you a Cisco Reseller?

I found an interesting article that may give Cisco Resellers a glimmer of hope if they feel they have been given unfair treatment.

In the article, the company “Infra-Comm” is suing based on a claim that Cisco gave a 5-million dollar deal to AT&T. Here is what the judge says:

..the judge found three provisions in Cisco’s ICPA unconscionable: that the partner is not provided with an opportunity to negotiate the terms of the contract when using Cisco’s Web site to renew contracts; that Cisco could terminate a reseller agreement with only a month’s notice, or without notice at the beginning of each year; and that the ICPA limits damages to what a reseller pays Cisco over the course of three months for services and products, which could be unfair to longtime resellers. -Network World Article
