Code of Ethics

Compliance with the principles and spirit of the Code of Ethics is required to gain and maintain membership in the ASCDi. Association members are committed to maintaining the highest level of ethics and responsibility in their relationships with the public, other dealers and clients.

Article I

The objective of the Code of Ethics is to maintain and enforce the highest standards of ethical professional practices which will make membership in the Society a recognized mark of experience, stability, integrity and competence.

Article II

We will regard as confidential all information concerning the business and affairs of clients with whom we are dealing in our professional relationships.

Article III

We will conduct ourselves in such a manner as to bring credit to our industry and enhance it's reputation.

Article IV

We will publicize our services in a professional manner upholding the dignity of our profession. We will avoid all conduct, practices and promotion likely to discredit or do injury to our field of endeavor.

Article V

We will strive to broaden public understanding and enhance public regard and confidence in the computer industry.

Article VI

In keeping with this dedication to principle, the members of the Association have further pledged to:

  1. Follow through and complete any agreement made verbally or otherwise to either another member of the Association or to any client or prospective client.

  2. Conclude the transaction once the dealer or end user has agreed to either sell or acquire equipment.

  3. Honor any offer that has been accepted by a member and/or client as expeditiously as possible after the offer has been made and accepted.

  4. Indicate to any member or prospective client the conditions and terms under which he has the authority to conduct a transaction.

  5. Utilize only one name in any transaction with a prospective client or member. It is considered extremely unethical to negotiate or bid utilizing different or separate corporate names under one's control without full disclosure.

  6. Not disparage other members by statement or innuendo to clients or prospective clients.

  7. Respond to any complaint or violation filed with the Industry Practices Committee and participate in all processes and procedures of that Committee with respect to that complaint.
