4. Doing business with Unitech
How to do business with Unitech… All practical aspects to proceed in doing business with
Unitech from the opportunity to view financial information, to placing orders and requesting
loan units. You’ll read it all in this chapter.
4.1 Orders
We very much welcome your orders.
To place an order we need all orders details such as products, quantity, configuration, requested
shipment date, destination and mode of shipment. Orders can be send by email to:
[email protected]. All your orders will be processed by Unitech’s Inside Sales department as
quick as possible with a maximum of 7 working days. After your order is being processed by Unitech,
you’ll receive an order confirmation.
We kindly ask you to check this order confirmation and report any differences between your original
order and the order confirmation issued by Unitech Europe. In order to keep progress in the order
process Unitech requests you to claim any discrepancies within 3 days after the order confirmation is
provided. After these 3 days Unitech will assume the prices and conditions are correct and will
proceed with your order(s).
All shipments will take place on an ‘ex-works’ base, meaning that the shipment (and dispatch) of the
products is for the account and risk of the recipient. (More information about shipments: see chapter 9)
4.2 Credit Line
Unitech can offer you as a direct customer a credit facility. Within a credit line you can order products
and services on credit. The credit facility will only be granted after a validation process has taken
place. Unitech has chosen to insure the credit facility via the company Coface Nederland (Claudius
Prinsenlaan 126, 4800 DJ Breda). Evaluation of the credit facility will be performed between you, as
Unitech’s customer, and Coface only. Once the credit amount is granted, Unitech will receive a
notification message from the credit insurance company and will adapt the credit facility.
Every quarter the credit facility will be reviewed by Unitech’s accounting and finance team to see if
payment behavior is in accordance with the agreed general business and payment terms between
customer and Unitech.
To apply for a credit line, you can fill out the Credit limit application form via the United Partner Portal –
finance section.
4.3 Financial information
Unitech is using an ‘invoicing on the box’ system.
This means that each shipment will have its own
associated invoice attached to it. The invoice(s) is in
an envelope and is placed on the outside of (one-)
the carton(s). Direct shipments (towards end
customers) will NOT be on the carton(s), but send
by regular email.

In addition to the paper invoice, Unitech has developed a financial section on the United Partner
Portal. Here you can find all kinds of financial information like the Unitech price book and rebate forms.
Within this section you will also be able to find a summary of your outstanding invoices with us,
instantly and up-to-date.
6
To access the financial information on the Partner Portal you need to have ‘Access to Financial
information’. This access will be granted to financial and management staff whose contact details are
provided during registration. One person of the company has the ‘administer role’ to set extra financial
access for other employees. More information about the United Partner Portal can be found in chapter
5. United Partner Benefits)
4.4 Price Exception
As many other industries the IT industry is competitive. Unitech wants to help customers to stay
competitive and win the opportunity in a most efficient way. While you are facing the price pressure
from the market, you are welcome to propose the Price Exception (PE) requests by filling in the Price
Exception form, including the detailed information about the project requirements, involved quantity,
market competition information and end-user information.
After receiving your completed PE form, we will review your requests and reply to you within 5 working
days. In most occasions we will request for a co-visit to identify Unitech’s unique value proposition.
Your Territory Manager will contact you for such activity. Price Exceptions (PE’s) require certain
volume commitments.
For more information, please check the ‘price support explanation’ which you can find at the finance
section of the United Partner Portal (right menu). To request a Price Exception, please fill out the Price
Exception Request form, which you can also find in this same finance section.
(Please read chapter 5. United Partner Benefits for more information about the United Partner Portal)
4.5 Loan Units
To support pre-sales activities Unitech can provide its customers with a loan unit.
This opportunity will be available for new products, pre-launch of products and special products. Your
Territory Manager will discuss the sales opportunity and advice the right product. After completing and
submitting the Loan Request form we will review your requests and reply to you within 3 working days.
We will not grant new loan applications to a customer who has un-returned loan units. It is required to
return the overdue one properly first. We will not accept the return of a loan older than 3 months to be
returned even if the loan period was agreed to be prolonged. Loan units can reside on customer side
no longer than 3 months. An invoice will be issued at the end of a loan period if the loan unit isn’t
returned to Unitech.
Not complying with these on-loan rules will result to apply a 3-month or 6-month quarantine period to
the customer. During the quarantine period, the customer will not be allowed for any loan unit form us.
All terms & conditions of loan units can be found on the Loan Unit Request Form which you can find
on the United Partner Portal  Sales section.

9.1 Fixed Freight Scheme (FFS)
For efficient and hassle-free operations Unitech is offering a Fixed Freight Scheme (FFS) which is
based on total value of the sales order. In practice this is very efficient and easy for you. The costs are
clear, transparent and you don’t need to create a pickup. The sales order will be shipped via the most
economic method and will be arranged by Unitech.
When you place your sales order you can indicate your shipment preference. The FFS cost will be
added to the invoice. In the case Unitech needs to ship a sales order partially, due to stock shortages,
the additionally shipment(s) to complete the sales order will be done on Unitech’s account.
More information about Freight cost, categorized per region and sales order value can be found on the
Partner Portal  Logistics
9.2 Shipment Notification
To be informed of a planned shipment of Unitech products our logistics system will send you a
shipment notification. The logistic contact person within your company will receive an email with the

you’ll also receive information about the forwarder and track & trace number of your shipment.
In addition the financial contact will receive an email with the invoice. A printed invoice will come with
the shipment in an envelope on the box. (Please, see 4.3 for more information)
