So…my problem is not so much with the term itself, but the fact that it has been applied retroactively. In my opinion, accepting this compromise sets a precedent that means other certified operators can argue that it is OK to change terms retroactively. It’s effectively re-defining the concept of CAP “certification” – I see that word as an indication of fairness and in my opinion, changing a contract without the other party’s consent or approval isn’t acceptable.
I am still recovering from Spain so not thinking as fast[shut it Simmo:)] but now that it has been mentioned I have to agree that we should not allow this to be applied to currant affiliates and should only be enforced on new sign ups, we cannot allow a program to do retroactive term changes on affiliates if we do other will follow. I am also very glad to see CAP step up and say ‘hey guys enough is enough’ to the team at BCP and I also appreciate progress but I hope you can see also what will happen if this program is allowed to change rules to terms that are retroactive. What if you went back to them and said a few affiliates have come to you quietly and expressed a concern and see what happens? I think this is all negociations to the positive and none of us are wanting a war here we just want what is fair and I personally cannot and will not let bad times get in the way of my ethics.
