I asked him about it specifically.

Yes, it's possible. It's a grey area....it's not quite selling something you don't own, but it's close. The guy I was talking to didn't know of any specifics where someone had actually been burned by this, other than getting slammed by their upstream. > And that I would have no ability to enforce the > terms and conditions agreed to by Cust X on the use of the > service by Cust Y? That's the legalese part....NO, you have no remedy against your customer's customer. Only against your direct customer. That's the point I was trying to make about the agreements not being transitive in that way. I'm told that specific legal point significantly adds to the bulk of reseller agreements (although I think it's because the attorneys get paid by the word). OK...that's enough OT for me. Daryl
