@Chucky
Situations often are misunderstood without knowledge of the full facts. It is disappointing when misrepresentations are made.
I am not sure if you recall AmigaKit has been manufacturing "A1200" Tower cases since 2005. Our product was the EZ Z4 A1200 Tower which we inherited from Eyetech when we took over their Classic Amiga business. We have also manufactured many other A1200 named products since then of course.
The A1200 desktop cases you are referring to were supplied from the Chinese manufacturer. Significant funds were contributed to make the production run possible and meet the Minimum Order Quantity demanded by the Chinese manufacturer. A request was lodged with Adzzer Pty Ltd to pass on the specific request to have the cases badged with a custom label of our choice. This could not be done so a second request was made to omit the case badge all together for the sake of wasting time removing and reapplying. In the end the cases were rebadged after they arrived from China which was not ideal.
Another request was later put in to provide custom printed box packaging. A quote for the work was given and artwork supplied which matched the custom labels and that was accepted by Adzzer Pty Ltd.
No invoices were issued by A1200.net - there is no record of this being a valid company.
Matthew,
Most of this if just plain wrong.
I told you, don't screw with me.
"I am not sure if you recall AmigaKit has been manufacturing "A1200" Tower cases since 2005. Our product was the EZ Z4 A1200 Tower which we inherited from Eyetech when we took over their Classic Amiga business. We have also manufactured many other A1200 named products since then of course."- Even if this were true, it does not entitle you to register A1200 trademark over our head while we were partners. You simply abused us and I'll demonstrate this later below.
"The A1200 desktop cases you are referring to were supplied from the Chinese manufacturer."- Wrong, they were supplied by Adzzer Pte Ltd.
May I remind you that you even had "issues" to pay the invoice regarding delivery of the cases to your doors? When at the same time I did all I could for this invoice to be as low as possible, yet you complained. While other distributors had to operate their own forwarders to collect cases in HK!
Do you want me to go further?
"A request was lodged with Adzzer Pty Ltd to pass on the specific request to have the cases badged with a custom label of our choice."- We do not "pass on".
- Your request for a different label was agreed. However the label you are presenting today is NOT the one you showed me at the time I visited you in Cardiff!
The old sticker label you showed me did
NOT had any mention as "A1200®" nor did he had the mention "A1200 is a registered trademark of AmigaKit."
- Also, we were not able to reach out to your "demand" simply because you're ... too slow in answering our messages!
"In the end the cases were rebadged after they arrived from China which was not ideal."- Cases did not arrive from China. They arrived from our warehouse in UK!
- They were delivered to you by Truck. Trucks don't come from China
"Another request was later put in to provide custom printed box packaging. A quote for the work was given and artwork supplied which matched the custom labels and that was accepted by Adzzer Pty Ltd. "- No, no & no. Plain false!
- Quote for work was given. No answer to the quote!
- Artwork for printing box was supplied AFTER it was TOO LATE for us to proceed! Again, you were too slow.
- We did NOT agree and "A1200 is a trademark by AmigaKit" was certainly NOT accepted by Adzzer Pte Ltd.
"No invoices were issued by A1200.net - there is no record of this being a valid company."- This is not an excuse.
- Cases are clearly branded A1200.NET and by this sole fact it is our brand and ours only.
AmigaKit do not own A1200.NET.
Yet you decided to trademark A1200 while we were partners without consulting us.
A1200.NET does not OEM its cases. These are not blank products. Our name as manufacturer is written inside..
Yet it seems you've decided to do whatever pleases you.
AmigaKit do not manufactures A1200 cases.
Yet you act like it.
- That is the reason why still as of today there is NO MENTION of A1200.Net nowhere on AmigaKit.
- All other partners are mentioning A1200.net. But not you. Funny eh?
You can state or declare anything you want publicly. This is your forum after all.
