Thank you!
My potential Arbot may be coming around. All of this helps.
One key sticking point in our discussions seems to be the perception
that we can just try it out a little bit, and if it doesn't work out,
then no harm done. What I hear is "Why can't I just start out and see
how it goes. Worst case scenario, we've spent $500 on some great
products and I don't make any money. In fact, many people who do this
don't do it to make money, but they just love the product and so do
their friends."
My hope (and prayer) is that it never comes to this, but I am very
concerned that this Arbot-to-be will sign some kind of contract that
creates a long-term obligation or creates financial/legal hassles. Any
information about this or examples would certainly help with my case.
