NEW-VENDOR

***** NEW-VENDOR *****

Internet Chess Club members who have a FIDE title (GM, IM, FM,
WGM, WIM) may apply to become an official ICC vendor.  We sometimes
make exceptions for experienced professional chess coaches with no
FIDE title.  Vendors can receive chekels from ICC members
as payment for lessons and other services.  Vendors can also place an
advertisement of 4 lines or less in the "help Services" file, and put
more information in their finger notes if they wish.

Vendors should have several months experience on ICC, and
understand completely how to use ICC libraries and the
examine, kibitz, tell, observe, and message commands.  Vendors
must be at least 18 years old or have a parent or guardian co-sign 
the vendor agreement.

Vendors receive a check from the ICC for chekels they have
received.  

The ICC deducts a commission to cover its costs of credit card
commissions and chargebacks, record-keeping, check preparation 
and mailing, tax reports, etc. 

Vendors will be paid ONLY by checks in US dollars drawn on a US bank.
ICC cannot issue bank wires or other types of payment.
ICC payment to a third party.

To become a vendor, please follow these three steps:

1) Send email to lateknight@chessclub.com requesting to become a
vendor.  Please include your FIDE title, real name, ICC
handle, email address, postal address, and a description of your
chess teaching experience.

2) If your application is approved, ICC will send you a
vendor contract to sign.

3) Sign and return the vendor contract to the ICC office
along with proof of identity.

Current vendors must collect at least 50 chekels every 6 months,
or they will be de-activated and have their advertisement removed
from "help Services".
