Value Added On-Going Resellers

Reseller Subscription
If you are a media/production studio, a transcription/dictation company or a telecommunication service provider you may be interested in a "Reseller Subscription".

The Reseller Subscription may only be used for sales supplied in conjunction with other products or services you supply to the customer such as telephony hardware, voice production services or transcription services. It may only be used for customers whom you supply directly (you may not supply through other resellers).

Under this option you pay a flat monthly fee to have a subscription to supply our software to an unlimited number of your customers in a fixed territory for that time period. The license that you supply to your clients is for the life of the version of software you supply them with. If we update the software it is your choice as a reseller to charge an extra fee to your clients to upgrade to the newer version.

You can sell licenses to your customers for any price or on any basis (eg. monthly fees) or even free so long as the customer is located in your territory, deals with you directly and you charge more for other services. You can use the NCH Software Recommended Retail Prices as a guide.

Please Note: Resellers must have a good working knowledge of the product before they commence with a Reseller Subscription. We do provide technical support to resellers but this does not extend to training on how to use the application. You should be very familiar with computers and have a working knowledge of how software is installed and interacts with a computer and it's components.

Qualifying Software Applications
A limited range of applications are available under the Reseller Subscription scheme. These include the IVM and VRS (excluding the Enterprise versions of each), Express/Dial/Web/Pocket/Palm Dictate User licenses. Also included under the Reseller Subscription scheme are the IMS, BMS, MSRS, Axon and ExpressTalk** applications.

Site licenses for Dial and Web Dictate as well and Enterprise licenses for VRS and IVM can be purchased at discounted reseller rates. Please register here to purchase these.

Reseller Subscription Cost Guide
Costs of a Reseller Subscription are usually for one territory, whether that is one country or one state/province. We do not, at this time, offer the blanket license for a region (i.e. Europe, Southeast Asia).

Payments must be for a minimum of 3 months. Discounts apply for payment 6 months in advance (10%), 12 months in advance (20%) or 2 years in advance (40%).
For example to become a reseller in one country may cost $95.00 USD per month. There is a one off set up fee of $185.00 USD and a contract minumum of 3 months. Therefore start up costs for 3 months will be $470.00 USD.

**Express Talk is only available when you are reselling a complete PBX package and is not available on it's own under the Reseller Subscription.

Customization and Rebranding of Software

Standard Customization of Software for Resellers
NCH Software can build a custom version for most of our applications. This customization makes the software point to your business which is good for your business if you are trying to create a brand image, and refers customers to you for more sales. In order to keep costs of the standard customization down the process is automated and the build is a set of specified exact text and image changes. Please see our customization page for more information.

Please Note: At this time we are unable to offer customisations of the IMS Music and Messages On Hold application for resellers who intend to use I-Producer2.

Advanced Customisation of Software for Resellers
We can also provide more advanced customization of our software including language translation for a few of the popular languages. If you need a change to an existing application, or a new business audio application, we provide software development services. See our Software Development page for more details.
