If you are buying through other channels and would like us to verify your sales, please contact our marketing team at aoamarketing@aopen.com and submit your past six months of relevant POS records. Please feel free to send us any questions or requests for Permission and Confidentiality Agreements regarding your POS records that will be obtained upon your application for membership upgrades by AOpen® through your distributors or via self‐submission.
