4b) If you still present your commercial hosting solution (Saas) with online subscription link directly on a page into the community portal domain name (that can be used as a demo or not), check that:

4b) If you have a commercial hosting solution of Dolibarr (Saas/Cloud) with online subscription link directly on a page of the community portal domain name (hosing service that can be used as a demo or not), check that:

* The link to your commercial solution must point to another page on your own company web site and any prices must appears ONLY on this second page that is your company page, not on the page of the community portal. No prices should appears on a community domain name because any commercial services are provided by a company not by the community.

* The link to your commercial solution must point to another page on your own company web site and any prices must appears ONLY on this second page that is hosted on your company web site, not on the page of the community portal. No prices should appears on a community domain name because any commercial services are provided by a company not by the community.

* On the community portal page, if linking to your company solution, you must also provide links at same place of at least 2 other competitors (goal is to show community project is available on several providers. It's not a problem if your offer is shown first but visibility must be equals). Just take a look, to see how it must be on french community portal http://www.dolibarr.fr/demo-en-ligne or english https://www.dolibarr.org/onlinedemo). If you don't want to maintain a list of "ready to use" demo services, you can replace all links (yours and the 2 other competitors) by just one link to: https://saas.dolibarr.org (choose what is best for you). Alternative is to provide no link at all (nor yours, nor any other services).

Goal of this rule is to keep a separation between OpenSource project and commercial offers. Don't think this rule will slow down your business, our experience show it is the opposite. Users don't trusts a project that start to show prices (they just do not enter into demo. Trust us, everybody wins to match this rule).
