iPhone developer
in [UK Mac]
|
From: Woody on 6 Feb 2010 07:37 I have had the free apple developer connection for a long time, and then added the free iPhone developer account to it. As I haven't actually produced any iPhone apps that was enough, you can release mac software free. Anyway, with the iPad coming there are some bits of software I wouldn't mind doing, and you can't get the pre-release SDK without joining the paid for account so I thought I might as well join. I joined under my company name, So you fill in the forms, they send you back an email to verify you name, all very normal, then when you hit submit they say they will contact you. about 5 hours later they did, with a message (which turns out is their standard message): Please fax the Certificate of Incorporation from Companies House of identity for your business based on your company form. The fax number for submission of this information is +1-408-974-1053. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR MAIN COMPANY CORPORATE TELEPHONE NUMBER WITH YOUR FAXED DOCUMENTS. Please ensure that your details include: - Full name of the company - Unique incorporation number - Date of incorporation Fax the certificate of incorporation to america? I can't fax, none of my computers contain a modem anymore (apart from a PC that is a long way from a phone line) as I haven't sent one in years. Regardless, what does that prove as I could just download my certificate from companies house (as in fact, could they). And why? I have never had to use that certificate for anything. I mean I have no particular moral objection to it (apart from the lack of fax, and not entirely knowing where it is offhand, except that I would have to move things to get to it), just don't understand the logic. I think I may just go for the personal account! -- Woody www.alienrat.com

I think that the reason they want a Fax, as opposed to an on line version, is that there is a different contractual value in a fax, as opposed to an online communication. A fax seems to have the legal status of hard copy. Maybe not, but I have been caught out by that many years ago and it was an expensive lesson- for my employer, not for me, but I never forgot it. -- Peter

I realise that in california a fax is legally as valid as the thing itself, but is a fax of something freely downloadble worth more than the thing itself? I mean what does it prove? -- Woody www.alienrat.com

That may be so in the USA, but it's not true here. > A fax seems to have the legal status of hard copy. So does an email.
