VENDOR Application Forms - Updated Sept 6th '09

[Antoine]

Welcome to Mazda Forums!

Thank you for your interest in the largest and most active ALL-MAZDA community in the world!

Please note: Vendors of any kind MUST apply for and receive an "Authorized Vendor" or "Approved Merchant Member" title BEFORE conducting business in any way, shape or form on Mazda Forums.

Authorized Vendor (AV) means you have an official business and or you are a professional seller.

Approved Merchant Member (AMM) means you do not have an official business and you custom fabricate your own products on a limited basis.
