Re-Branding and selling kayako as own brand - 30-03-2007, 10:21 PM

I have stumbled upon this company on the net:

http://www.ayrax.net/products.php?ac...uct&prod_id=47

Obviously they have re-branded Kayako and now selling as their own product (and with cheaper prices than Kayako prices!) They even say that if you become their reseller they give a lifetime license to their support software for free.

http://demoedestek.ayrax.net/
It says on the bottom:
Quote:
Ayrax E-Destek Yazılımı
Ayrax bir İzinternet Bilgisayar Teknolojileri Markasıdır.
Translation:
Quote:
Ayrax E-Support Software
Ayrax is an Izinternet Computer Technologies Brand
I wonder if this is completely legal? How do they sell it cheaper than buying from Kayako ? Is there reseller agreements?

Thanks,

Hi yurtesen,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Kayako does offer a reseller service, allowing the product to be resold at a small discount. However, it is against the Kayako Reseller terms to rebrand the products in this way.

Regardless of this - it looks as though this site is selling a warez (illegal and pirated) outdated version of the software; dangerous as it presents security risks that users purchasing from this site will not know about.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention. We will contact the site soon.

Thanks,


Jamie Edwards (jamie.edwards ]at[ kayako.com)

This is illegal and is not allowed by Kayako. Kayako can pursuit this legally.
