Agreements and eContract Information on Seller-Login

Objective

As a Venture, I want to decide whether or not Sellers will see the agreements or eContract window when they log in if there were changes to either the agreements or uploaded eContracts. Since usually the agreements and eContracts are not used at the same time by the same Seller, the Seller should not be forced to accept agreements that are not intended for them.

Setup

This setting exists only on Seller-level.

If you want to enable Agreements and eContract Information on Seller-Login, please raise a TMLSD ticket. The parameter that needs to be enabled is seller/agreements/enabled.

Versioning of contracts is covered here: Versioning of Agreements

Step Description Image
1 Go to Administration > Seller Management > Edit Seller agreements_overlay
2
  • In the tab “Settings,” go to the “General” section.
  • There there is a setting “Mandatory Seller Agreements (CMS block)”
  • This setting enables/disables the display of the agreements overlay when new agreements have been set up (via the CMS menu).

Options:

  • “Yes”: Agreements overlay is displayed when agreements are updated by Venture; it is mandatory.
  • “No”: Agreements overlay is not displayed when agreements are updated by Venture; not mandatory.
3 Save the Seller settings.

 

 

Consequences for Seller

For all Sellers, a notification will be displayed that agreements have been updated and that they have to accept the agreements within a certain time period.

However, no notification will displayed to Sellers for whom only uploaded eContracts  (but not changes to the general agreements) are relevant.

Configuration of Expiration Date of Agreements/Contracts

Per default, a Seller has 14 days to accept either a new version of the agreements that has been set up or an eContract/Terms that has been uploaded until the Seller can’t use Seller Center anymore. This expiration time can be changed.

In order to change the expiration time, please create a TMLSD ticket in JIRA and tell the Rocket Labs team how many days this configuration should be changed to.

 

Auto-approval of agreements

Currently, when new agreements get created or the old ones updated the older version gets automatically approved. That might get especially confusing for newly registered seller, who are just able to agree to the currently available agreements. Potentially they don’t want to confirm the previous one.

In order to just have the current one active, please create a TMLSD ticket in Jira and have the configuration changed for seller/agreements/auto_accept/enabled.
