How to participate in the Demon Discount Program
To have your company considered for inclusion in discount program, please note the following rules and regulations:

1. All vendors must offer a discounted product or service to members of the university community (e.g. alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, retirees), over and above what is normally offered to the general public.
   
   
2. All participating vendors must satisfy at least one of the following requirements:
   • Be considered a Preferred Vendor by Procurement Services
   • Make an annual gift or sponsorship to the university
   • Pay an annual membership fee
   • Offer a substantial benefit to the university (as determined by Procurement Services)
     
     
3. Preference will also go to vendors who are alumni of the university.
   
   
4. A company's products or services cannot compete with the university's preferred vendors without the approval of Procurement Services.
