Compliance

Distributors must submit a signed Distributor Policy & Pricing (DPP) Form when submitting entries and agree to pay entry fees in full to NETA by Friday, August 3, 2001.  A service assessment of $50.00 per program entry will be levied if NETA staff must make extensive corrections to FIRSTVIEW forms. 

With the exception of the Distributor Entry Form, all information submitted to FIRSTVIEW/SATSCREEN will be posted to the FIRSTVIEW/SATSCREEN website  (www.itmonline.com) and will not be edited or altered in any way except for formatting.  Proprietary information (such as SATSCREEN satellite schedule information) will be password protected.  Presenters may withdraw all or part of their entry information by written notification to the FIRSTVIEW coordinator.

 Distributors must also agree that if any changes are made to the DPP, program lengths, titles, sequence of programs or guide information, they will update the corresponding online form in a timely manner.

 The FIRSTVIEW/SATSCREEN National Advisory Committee will examine violations of the stated FIRSTVIEW policies. Continual infractions will result in the risk of exclusion from FIRSTVIEW.

All FIRSTVIEW entry forms must be entered online by 8pm Eastern June 1, 2001.  A signed Distributor Policy & Pricing (DPP) Form printed from the online Distributor Entry Form Index must be submitted to NETA by June 1, 2001.  NETA, 939 South Stadium Road, Columbia, SC 29201, (803) 799-5517.
