Improve the environmental performance of everyone involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic equipment.

The Distributors general obligations are as follows:
"Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Reseller acknowledges and agrees that Reseller qualifies as, and will be considered the "producer" of the Products within the meaning of any laws, regulations or other statutory schemes providing for the marking, collection, recycling, take-back and/or disposal of electrical and electronic equipment (collectively, "WEEE Regulations") in any jurisdiction whatsoever, (such as for example national laws implementing EC Directive 2002/96 on waste electrical and electronic equipment, as amended), so long as an exemption from compliance is not available. As such, Reseller assumes sole responsibility for complying with all applicable WEEE Regulations in connection with the Products it purchases and for all associated costs. Trimble agrees to cooperate with Reseller to provide information related to the Products to assist Reseller in complying with the WEEE Regulations."

Specific Distributors obligations include:

Register and maintain registration within their respective jurisdiction as required
Reporting to their respective jurisdictions at the prescribed intervals
Provide copies of the reports to Trimble
