Why are there a time restrictions to return equipment purchased from Sintel Systems? This policy is mostly intended for the customer’s protection and to keep the cost low for all our customers; however, here are some details.

1. The policy is intended to keep cost down for all customers. For this reason Sintel Systems staff invest time in fully understanding a customer’s needs and answering questions to ensure that any customer is obtaining the needed products and services to diminish the needs for returns. The overall cost of products and services increase with increased returns.

2. Most all of our products are accompanied by manufacture’s warranties which Sintel Systems facilitates if the customer maintains their support plan. The warranty commences form the day the customers receives the products. For this reason, products returned to Sintel Systems are not resold to other customers because the product’s warranty period has commenced. Items returned to Sintel Systems are returned to the manufacturer for testing and warranty replenishment. Our agreement with our manufactures entails time restrictions for returns which allows us to pass the savings onto our customers. As an example, one of the most sensitive products in our line are scales used with our point of sale (POS) systems. This is the reason scales are shipped in oversized and heavily protected/cushioned boxes. It would not be unsafe to resell a scale that has been shipped to a customer, possibly opened, installed, repackaged, and shipped back to Sintel Systems. This product needs to be returned to Sintel Systems within a total of 17 days (7 day RMA and 10 day shipping) from receipt to allow Sintel Systems to return the item to the manufacturers. We are not able to remedy this matter if the product is not returned within the above prescribed timelines and will not accept returns beyond the allowed time period. 3. The requirements of returning products is the policy of Sintel Systems and part of our agreement to sell products and services to our customers. We reserve the right to amend this agreement without notice; however, we always proceed with our customers best intention in mind.

Refund on Partial Returns Items offered by Sintel Systems may be offered as packaged deals including point of sale (POS) systems that are comprised of hardware, software, and other accessories. The sum of the listed price of the items may be greater that the package price offered by Sintel Systems. In instances when an authorized return is for one or more components of the package, the package will be priced back to its list price by component and then a refund issues. Example: A customer purchases a frozen yogurt point of sale system with an all-in-one POS station, software, scale, and support & service. Then the customer decides to return the POS system within the allowed refunds period described on this page and in this document. The customer fails or decides not to return the software and accompanying software licenses. In this case, the list price of the software license will be deducted from the total refund.

8) Limited Warranty Warranty work is provided through Sintel Systems for the first 90 days after purchase and is directly through the manufacturer after the first 90 days. Sintel Systems will facilitate warranty exchange for all customers maintaining Technical Support & Maintenance contracts at time of warranty need.

Why is technical support included as part of POS purchase? Technical support is an essential part of the POS system and in necessary to fully understand and learn the system. Technical support also includes training for existing and future staff. Sintel Systems wants to ensure that every customer learns how to use their system optimally and avoid cases of utilized POS systems. Technical support also provides support when a customer requires it. Furthermore, software upgrades are also included as part of technical support and are essential to maintaining an up-to-date POS system which include guarding the system from outside attacks which change on a daily basis. Due to the complexity and fluid changes in technology, security software companies, Sintel Systems, and all other entities involved in the protection malicious electronic attacks are not responsible for system breaches.

Technical Support Pricing Information: The pricing provided by Sintel Systems is subsidized by Sintel Systems to provide each customer with franchise growth oriented pricing (FGOP) and the following questions & answers better explain this and are hereby incorporated into the purchase agreement. What is a subsidy? A subsidy is in many ways similar to a discount, but it is intended to provide assistance to the recipient. In this case, the Support Plan subsidy is provided to allow business owner to utilize the subsidized amount in other aspects of business and grow.

What is franchise growth oriented pricing (FGOP)? It is a pricing strategy created and subsidized by Sintel Systems to allow businesses growth by lowering the immediate cost for services and products. The difference between the market price and FGOP is offered to the business for other operational aspects and growth.

What is the market value of the support & service plan provided by Sintel Systems? $1,500 annually for the first terminal and $1,500 for any additional terminals within the same location. This rate is reflective of all services provided under the Support Plan.

Can FGOP vary based on the customer? Yes.

What is Multi-Location Gift Card Processing (MLGCP)?

Sintel Systems utilizes and integrates a MLGCP system into FroyoWorld point-of-sale (POS) systems to allow for 1) the integrated processing of multi-location/store gift cards allowing multiple locations to issue and accept gift cards across multiple locations and 2) for the safe remote storage of data. All FroyoWorld Franchisees are subject to mandatory enrollment into and maintain the MLGCP through Sintel Systems. Sintel Systems reserves the right to change the MLGCP program to a similar service. Cancellation of MLGCP forfeits the FGOP pricing and customer must reimburse Sintel Systems for the price difference between regular price technical support and FGOP from the commencement of operations at his first store and $7 per day fee from date of cancellation. Sintel Systems does not hold funds or is responsible for funds associated with MLGCP. The MLGCP system simply facilitates the transfer of funds between the multiple locations and a centralized account managed by either the customer or the franchisor/licensor.

Is support for Multi-Location Gift Card Processing (MLGCP) transfer to third party or locationalization (from multi-location to single location) part of Technical Support? No. Transfer of MLGCP from Sintel Systems to any third party is a very time and resource incentive process including the protection of proprietary technology related to MLGCP utilized by Sintel Systems. Customers who choose to opt out of FGOP and Sintel Systems MLGCP are not entitled to any type of support from Sintel Systems in the transfer of data from our data base to any third party data base. Sintel Systems is capable of assisting with this task as follows: 1) A six (6) week notice is required for this transfer. 2) A $250 cancellation fee is payable to Sintel Systems regardless of any fees to the MLGCP service provider. 3) A $795 setup fee plus $0.39 per card (minimum 500 cards) fee. This process will deliver the needed data which includes card number and balance to the third party. Sintel Systems will only provide the data and is not responsible for any third party integration. Payment of the cancellation fee, set up fee, and minimum 500 transactions must be made to Sintel Systems prior to the commencement of any work.

Does FGOP pricing apply to any other part of a point-of-sale (POS) services or goods? Yes. FGOP pricing may apply to other parts of the POS system including subsidized hardware or POS supplies such as gift cards. While not definite, the most common area of FGOP is found in Franchise-Wide-Support (FWS) or Professional POS Franchise Remote Access (PPFRA) provided to franchises or chains of operations. FWS is subsidized from $795 to $500 (a $295 value) and PPFRA is subsidized from $795 to $295 ($500 value).

Is the Support Plan pricing subject to change? As with any other service or goods in the economy, the Support Plan pricing is subject to change; however, Sintel Systems intends to maintain a FGOP program on an ongoing basis to foster customer growth. The pricing and program stated above has been in effect since 2007 and was incepted as a result of the economic troubles of 2007. The program was in many ways our stimulus plan for small business. Sintel Systems will provide notice of any intended changes and allow all existing customers to renew their support plan before the change regardless of the support plan’s expiration date. This notice will be provided via email and it is the customers responsibility to ensure that their email is current with Sintel Systems and Sintel Systems is not responsible for any reason if notice is not received by customer. After any changes in FGOP pricing, all customers will be subject to the change. Customers not wanting to maintain a support plan after a change in FGOP, may opt out of FGOP by paying the difference between the previous FGOP price and previous market price for technical support service since the inception of their relationship with Sintel Systems.

Is Technical Support Transferable? Per the terms outlined in the “Terms of ‘POS Services’ Provider to Froyoworld” at the beginning of this document, technical support agreements are not transferable and new owner(s) or trasferees must obtain a new plan.

12) Internet Usage Policy As a direct result of being connected to the World Wide Web, computers are constantly subjected to potential viruses and spyware. Sometimes a user doesn’t even need to do anything to be susceptible to harmful, damaging, and data stealing programs such as viruses and spyware. Although all of Sintel Systems units are shipped out with the necessary preventive software such as Anti-Virus programs to help protect the systems, it is still possible for malicious programs to find their way inside your system. This is why Sintel Systems is limiting non-POS related internet access. As a result we have been able to significantly increase the security of the system while simultaneously increasing the overall reliability of the units. The following internet usage policy is now enforced.

Sintel Systems limits the use of Internet Browsers or access to non Point of Sale (POS) related internet activities to protect our customers, the software, the hardware, merchant account processing, and other related sensitive information. This is done by placing a password on all internet usage. Sintel Systems does this to ensure the safety and security of our customers Point of Sale systems and operations. If you wish to gain access to the internet, we will provide you the password only if a release of liability is signed. Sintel Systems is not liable or responsible for any loss or damage incurred by any POS user accessing the Internet through the POS system. This includes, but is not limited to, viruses or spyware acquired through the internet, any loss associated by buying or selling merchandise or services through the Internet, theft of credit card or other financial data, any personal information disclosed through the Internet, or any other information or data transmitted through the Internet or harm caused to the system sales data as a result of access to the internet.

13) Software License & Database The POS software license(s) provided in various forms (electronic, physical, key, and/or serial numbered) on the POS systems obtained from Sintel Systems and the database remain the property of Sintel Systems and are directly tied to the technical support plan for Froyoworld. Sintel Systems grants the use of the software license(s) in annual terms and the right of use and software/database licensing right is renewed with the renewal and payment of the required annual technical support plan. Sintel Systems reserves the right to recall and disable the software license and database if technical support is not renewed. The software licenses and/or database may expire immediately at expiration of technical support or anytime within 30 days after the expiration and non-renewal of technical support. Not recalling, disabling, or unregistering the software license and/or database immediately does not signify a waiver of the rights of Sintel Systems under this agreement. Technical support fees and late charges will continue to accrue until paid in full regardless of timeline for nonpayment. The continued possession (electronic, physical, key, and/or serial numbered) and/or use of the software license(s) and database while not renewing technical support is a violation and breach of this agreement. Furthermore, the continued possession and/or use of unlicensed software and/or database is subject to United States Software use federal laws that entitle Sintel Systems damages of, but not limited to $150,000 per license and per incident in civil penalties in addition to criminal penalties imposed by the State and Federal authorities. Severing the connection with Sintel Systems in order to circumvent the ability of Sintel Systems to access the system to retrieve the software license or datable for the non payment/renewal of technical support is a gross violation and breach of this agreement and will result in additional fees of $1,500 per license plus the full technical support fee (without any further discounts), late charges due immediately, and penalties due under federal laws. If necessary, Sintel Systems will enforce the terms of this agreement according to conditions set forth in this document and section 22 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction).

NOTE: If the license or database expire and/or are recalled, disabled, unregistered after the non-renewal and non-payment of technical support, all outstanding balances including fees set forth in this agreement must be paid for reactivation. Under no circumstances will software license(s) or database be reactivated without prior and full payment. If user or user’s agent reinstall software without the consent and expressed written permission of Sintel Systems, damages of, but not limited to $150,000 per license and per incident are also due. Not renewing technical support and the software/database licensing rights and not using the POS system for all financial transactions at Froyoworld does not relinquish other obligations and is a breach of this agreement as dictated in various parts of this agreement.

14) Ownership You cannot claim intellectual property right or exclusive ownership to any of our products, modified or unmodified. Sintel Systems retains ownership of software license and database and grants its use under the terms provided above.

15) Third Party Purchase A third party purchase (TPP) is defined as a purchase of goods and services made by one party for another party. In TPP, the end user is not necessarily the purchaser and Sintel Systems fully relies on the purchaser to communicate the intention of TTP to Sintel Systems. A TPP occurs when one party purchases goods and services from Sintel Systems for another party. In the purchase invoice and agreement, the purchaser is identified under the “Billing Address” and the intended recipient may or may not be reflected in the “Shipping Address” depending on the manner in which the end user finally received the product. The following examples exhibit some TPP scenarios:

1. Example of TPP: Bob contacts Sintel Systems and purchases a point of sale (POS) systems for John. Bob asks that Sintel Systems ship the POS system to John directly. John is considered as the registered end user of the POS system; however, Bob must ensure that John understands and follows all terms and conditions of purchase.

2. Example of TPP: Bob contacts Sintel Systems and purchases a point of sale (POS) systems for John. Bob asks that Sintel Systems ship the POS system to Bob and he will deliver it to John. In this case, Bob has to either provide John’s full contact info to Sintel Systems for registration or direct John to call Sintel Systems within 30 days of receipt of product by Bob to register. Bob must ensure that John understands and follows all terms and conditions of purchase. The technical support agreement and all term of the agreement start from the day (or within 30 days if specifically requested by Bob) from when Bob receives the system. The terms of this agreement are not related to the date of transfer from Bob to John.

3. Example of TPP: Bob is an owner of chain of franchise restaurants. John is a new franchisee and under a master contract with Bob, will receive his POS system from Sintel Systems. John has made one lump sum payment to Bob for all equipment needed for his new restaurant. Bob contacts Sintel Systems and purchases the POS for John and then directs John to contact Sintel Systems to receive the POS system. Bob must ensure that John understands and follows all terms and conditions of purchase.

4. Example of TPP: Bob contacts Sintel Systems and purchases a point of sale (POS) systems for John and Sintel Systems ships the system to John. Three days later Bob decides that he wants to return the system to Sintel Systems and contacts Sintel Systems to obtain an authorized RMA number. Sintel Systems provides Bob with the RMA number and provides Bob the 10 days allowed time to ship the POS system back to Sintel Systems. Bob contacts John, gives him the RMA number and John ships back the POS system to Sintel Systems and Sintel Systems issues a refund to Bob. It is the full responsibility of Bob to ensure that John returns the systems in a timely manner. Sintel Systems bears no responsibility for John’s failure to follow the requirements set forth by this purchase agreement.

All terms and conditions of purchase contained on this page and on this document apply to TPP. Once the POS system is shipped from Sintel Systems or its affiliate, it is the sole responsibility of the parties to arrange any details. In case of an authorized return, the party making payment to Sintel Systems will receive the refund. Refunds will only be returned to the Billing party. It is the sole responsibility of the party making payment to ensure proper return of products to Sintel Systems. In no circumstance, is Sintel Systems responsible to the purchaser for the end users failure to adhere to the terms and conditions of this purchase agreement. The purchasing party is responsible to fully communicate the terms and conditions of this purchase agreement to the third party.

Why is this fee charged? 1) It is the policy of Sintel Systems and 2) Customers who obtain merchant account services through Sintel Systems gain immediate and reoccurring advantages. The cancellation fee is an offsetting fee for the increase in cost of Sintel Systems for the cancellation of merchant account service.

Changes initiated by various factor may require changes ranging from simple updates to upgrades in operating systems to replacement/addition of hardware. Most of the periodic updates which associated parties make available are provided to customers as part of technical support.
