Co-op Reimbursement Rules
 This is a reimbursement program. Claims are to be submitted only after retailer has paid
the advertising vendor.
 In order to be eligible for payment on any submitted Co-op claim, Retailer must comply
with the requirements outlined in these guidelines, including but not limited to pre-
approval and Co-op claim requirements.
 DISH Network reserves the right to decline or charge back payment of any Co-op
advertising claim in its sole and absolute discretion.
 Reimbursements will be made to the Retailer only. Media vendors or agencies will not be
reimbursed by DISH Network. DISH Network will not accept invoices from media vendors
or agencies, which are addressed to DISH Network.
 If advertising is provided free of charge by a Vendor, or if the cost of the advertising is
later discounted by the Vendor, Retailer may only claim, and DISH Network will only
reimburse, the discounted amount.
 Retailer may not submit a claim for the value of free advertising, even if the Vendor
provides Retailer with an "invoice" for that advertising.
 If the Retailer is aware that advertising previously reimbursed by DISH Network is later
discounted, or if the Vendor rebates the cost of some or all of the advertising to Retailer
after it has been invoiced and claimed, Retailer must rebate the appropriate amount to
DISH Network within five business days.
 If the Retailer, Retailer’s spouse, relative of the Retailer or Retailer’s employee owns any
portion of the vendor company or Retailer shares any building space, the reimbursement
will be denied due to a conflict of interest.
 Retailers who have submitted inflated invoices for the purpose of increasing advertising
co-op reimbursements, or who have engaged in any type of Vendor "kick-back" program,
will be subject to substantial damages including recapture of past co-op payments and
possible termination of their EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. Retailer Agreement.
 All invoices submitted with Co-op claims for payment are subject to audit. Audits may
occur either before or after payment or denial of payment.
 DISH Network may require independent verification of invoices by the Vendor. Failure of
any Retailer's Vendor to verify invoice information will result in denial or subsequent
charge-back of funds paid relative to that co-op claim.
 All advertising vendors must be verifiable through state registration of business
license. Any unverifiable business entity can cause a claim to be denied or a charge-
back imposed.
 All payments submitted for reimbursement must be paid with verifiable funds.
DISH Network may require that Retailer provide adequate proof of payment. Failure by
Retailer to provide proof of payment within 10 business days of request will result in
nonpayment or charge-back of any and all co-op claims in DISH Network's sole
discretion. DISH Network reserves the right to require proof of payment in advance of
payment of any claimed amount.
Note: Cash, barter system, or trade of services are not acceptable and will not
constitute proof of payment.
 Adequate proof includes but is not limited to:
o Cancelled checks (front and back) and corresponding bank or credit card
statements showing Retailer payment to the Vendor for advertising.
o Copies of Cashier’s Checks (front and back) – if advertising was paid via a
Cashier’s Check, (it is the Retailer’s responsibility to obtain a copy of the paid
item).
