Every week Equis has to contact a rep at eBay [or elsewhere] to pull our product(s) off because it is not legal to resell them. It’s in direct violation of our license agreement to resell any of our products. We try to stop the auctions the best that we can, but there are always some that go through. It’s not a fast process and unfortunately it doesn’t stop some from opening another account. Some are selling older versions that aren’t using it anymore and some are mass producing copies and selling them for whatever they can get.
The person selling Equis software is the one who is violating the license agreement. The buyer is the one who gets the short end of it because he cannot get free tech support from us or upgrade it to newer versions.
