All, Has anyone had issues (or prevented them) with legal repsonsibility for referring third party sales into markets for which the third party's products are not approved? I'll explain: My company would like to refer sales of certain peripheral products directly to outside suppliers (and get a 'finder's fee' in the process). The issue came up that what if we refer a sale and collect a finders fee when a 3rd party supplier sells a product into a market in which the product is not approved (i.e. we tell someone that we have an EU customer that wants to buy our widget and their gadget - but their gadget has no CE mark and they ship it anyway and give us a finder's fee).
Would my company be at all liable for the third party's supplier shipment to a non-approved market? (we did refer the sale and get money for it) I think we're in the clear and it's the third party supplier's responsibility to limit their shipments to only those markets in which they have the required regulatory approvals/certs/etc but I'm throwing this out to the list to get feedback. Thanks in advance for any feedback, -Dave Heald ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for computer viruses.
