I would find our what part of the TPA they objected to and negotiate on that. Of course, that's just my $.02. Kelly Babcock -----Original Message----- From: Test, Brian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 3:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tading Partner Agreements (TPA) I wanted to get the List's opinions on this subject. I have a couple of customers unwilling to sign our TPA, nor do they have one for us to sign, and I do not know what to do. Typically, a TPA is used to identify who is responsible for what in legal terms. I'm no Lawyer (nor do I play one on TV), but if there is no agreement, what happens when something goes wrong? If something very bad happens and it winds up in court, what would the courts base their ruling on? Is there an implied EC law? I personally find maintaining TPAs to be a boring (but necessary) part of ECommerce. More importantly, I need to CMA (cover-my-xxx) for any future audits. Please share your thoughts with me, and as always...thanks.
