Distributor must first contact Macromedia for prior approval of contemplated marketing expenditures.

MDF claims for credit, along with an invoice and supporting documentation of performance, must be received by Distributors Macromedia Sales Representative, by mail, within three (3) months of Distributors approved expenditure, in order to be considered. Funds are available for six months after they are earned. After six months, unclaimed funds will expire, revert to Macromedia and cannot be re-instated. Requests for reimbursement are always charged against the oldest outstanding accrual. Funds that are not timely claimed after termination of the Distribution Agreement will revert to Macromedia and will not be paid out in cash or credit.
