Shane, Seems you received just enough information from Francois to put blame and accuse me and SlideME for being dishonest publicly. I am afraid I have to disappoint you and provide the communication transcripts, so the members on this list can judge for themselves if we are dishonest or what kind of a person you are with words to mash it all up in your favor.
- I have prepared a transcript of the communication with Francois (koxx). 21 Oct 2009: Sends email to Shane and Shane confirms: "Just send me an invoice with the time period, contact info, method of payment, amount and then I'll take care of it." (this did not happen) 8th Nov 2009: Sends invoice within email as text and not as an invoices attachment & signed as required 9th Nov 2009 : Thanks me for his payout executed from my personal account. Jan 28th, 2010: After asking if invoices were sent, confirms "No, there was no 'true' invoice in 2009. Just this" (an informal text in email) Jan 28th, 2010: Confirm that we issued a payout without a proper invoice from developer and that we were in error for doing so, and we needed a proper invoice. Feb 2, 2010: Issued report, again. March 28th, 2010: Followed up with developer on status and why he decided to unpublish as customers wanted an upgrade and asked "Was due to any reason when previous partner 'Shane' did not remit payment to you on time? Answer: Mar 28, 2010: Confirms, and claims he forgot to issue invoice to us. March 29th, 2010: We issued up to date reports again April 4th, 2010: Assisted personally developer to prepare invoices since english is not his native language and was finding it difficult to prepare such invoices. April 6th, 2010: Received for the 1st time proper invoices for first payout and new second invoice. April 8th, 2010: Remittance sent for last invoice Assumed developer was happy now, but again not enough of my help was enough to keep him as a publisher on SlideME. Offered developer to forward his email address to users of his application that wanted an upgrade and did so as per their request. - Shane, one request. You need to retract now in public any such accusations that I and SlideME are operating a dishonest operation. I would agree you could make such accusations if you were a judge and have a clear picture from both sides. Nothing gives you the right in public without knowing both sides of the story to make such strong accusations that could be detrimental to SlideME. re: Martin's case, Martin missed reading the requirements documented clearly in the 1st email to him as explained earlier in this thread and he issued what was definitely not an invoice that we had to ignore. A human error on his behalf, does not make us dishonest. I will take blame, by not following up with him and mentioning that we could not accept this invoice, that I did not do. We have gone out of our way to assist these developers and it seems developers that are demanding, or for some reason do not like the way we conduct business tend to publicly post negative comments for their own reasons. Unfortunately, we can only stretch our hand out so much to assist them, and still we find they take a bite at it.
