CD Return Procedure

As agreed in your DIS USE AGREEMENT and defined in the "General Terms of License Agreement for BMW EPC/TIS" under section 6. (Property rights of the data carrier), whenever the licensee receives a new version of the product on a data carrier (CD), he shall return the data carrier (CD) used previously to the provider.

BMW will add a core charge to each CD after the initial shipment of CDs to your dealership has been completed. There will be 3 types of CDs:

- EPC

- TIS

- DIS

After initial shipments are completed, additional quantities of CDs must be requested in writing from BMW NA's Parts Technical Group. These will also be sent out without a core charge on the initial shipment. There after, any new CDs which replace your existing CDs will have a core charge of $300.00 each. These will be credited to you upon your return of the earlier version CD of the same part number.

In order for you to determine which return part number to use, below is a list of cores:

- P/N 86 00 0 000 043 EPC

- P/N 86 00 0 000 044 EPC (use only for Euro CD EPC)

- P/N 86 00 0 000 045 TIS

- P/N 86 00 0 000 046 DIS

All returns of CDs will be sent to USCO; please refer to Parts Bulletin I-33 for complete details.
