Glide transaction product launch postponed
In the last few days, C.A.R. members may have read about a legal dispute between Lone Wolf Technologies (owner of the zipForm® product) and Glide Labs. C.A.R. has had longstanding relationships with Lone Wolf and Glide, both of whom are valued vendors.
This is a dispute between the two vendors, and while we hope the parties quickly and efficiently resolve their disagreement, C.A.R. is postponing the previously scheduled Jan. 14 launch of Glide as a new member benefit to allow time for the two parties or the court, if necessary, to resolve the issues.
To help answer any questions members may have, C.A.R. has prepared the Frequently Asked Questions linked here.
If members have additional questions regarding the dispute, please contact zipForm® (info@lwolf.com) or Glide (support@glide.com) directly.
