I have regrets
that these efforts may be harming
our long standing Vendors
that have invested many $$$ and countless hours
in products, services and support that were needed
and not available from Daimler-Chrysler.
I gather from the post about the store that POA
has been licensed to sell Prowler Logo products.

As many of the current Vendors have supported POA
since it’s creation, is it possible that these current
POA Vendors continue to sell their products
under the umbrella of POA with POA’s
product approval without any changes
in their current business operations?

This way, we can reward instead of punish
the very Vendors who have for many years
enhanced our being a Prowler Owner.

Sincerely,
Ted

1. DaimlerChrysler supports the Prowler community in other ways beside producing merchandise and apparel. Unfortunately, because the vehicle is no longer being produced, it is not economically feasible for them to continue on that path. Hence the reason that the licensing was pursued on behalf of the club. We will pick up where they left off!!

2. This effort will NOT harm ANY of our vendors. The Prowler community more than appreciates the time and efforts that have gone into development of aftermarket parts for the Prowler. This in itself is not an issue at all. The licensing issue is only with using the Trademarked logos that belong to DaimlerChrysler. Unless a person or company who is making and selling products which are using the licensed logos has a licensing agreement with DC, it is illegal and in violation of trademark licensing laws.

If any of our vendors are using the trademarks/logos on their products and are not licensed by DC, we can allow them to sell their products here, under the club's licensing agreement, by using a very simple solution. Those vendors only need to contact us (and they have all been sent an email regarding this) to discuss the very simple solution we have worked out for them.

Please understand that the last thing we want to do is harm ANY of our vendors. DaimlerChrysler does monitor this site and has for some time. If we do not comply with the terms of our licensing agreement, they will revoke it and we will have NO source of Prowler apparel and merchandise. We are trying to do what will benefit all of us and stay within the guidelines that DaimlerChrysler has given us.

Again, we appreciate your patience and understanding of this process. We think that everyone will have fun with the Prowler Store!!!

We are talking with many different vendors and most were making the Prowler Merchandise for Chrysler or had in the past.

Our Goal is to have the highest quality products at the best affordable prices.

We are also looking for any suggestions for items and also welcome any vendor who has a product that our membership will be interested in.

Feel free to email
thepoastore@prowleronline.com and someone from the team will get back to you within a couple of days.
