Kumquat Extends Global Tax Holiday To Customers!

This week, Kumquat benefited from a one time tax break from the US Congress that allows us to take $20 billion in profits we've been holding overseas and bring it back to the US, paying only 15 cents out of every dollar in taxes we owe. We did this, originally promising to use the money for job creation - and we're following through on this pledge. We are creating over 14,000 jobs at Wal-Mart and McDonalds with part of the proceeds from this windfall.

Still, keeping the profits to ourselves or buying back our stock to artificially raise it's price seems a little greedy to the "I-company with the glistening soul". So we're spreading it around with our new Global Tax Holiday for Customers Program. Here's how it works:

  1. Select a Kumquat Desktop, Laptop, Printer or Mousepad of your choice from our online catalog.
  2. Pay for it at full price using a credit card tied to your Cayman Islands or Swiss bank account.
  3. Have the unit shipped to your address in the United States or Canada using same day, human organ express service.
  4. Go to the kumquatcomputer.com website, take the Java System Internals for Operating System Developers Level III test and enter promotion code TAX2005
  5. Enter your product serial number, along with your Microsoft operating serial number into the product registration database at kumquatcomputer.com/register. You only have one chance to enter your 72 character serial number, or you will invalidate your warrantee and your computer will explode.
  6. Open the case of your computer, and using a small jewelers saw, cut off the upper left hand corner of the mother board. Be sure to re-solder any loose connections.
  7. Discard this piece of circuit board and use a screwdriver to pry off the product name panel on the front of your computer or printer.
  8. Send the product identification badge via overnight express to:

           Kumquat Product Promotions
           CN 12
           Eden Prairie, MN 02922

Yout refund for 85% of your sales tax will be sent to your home address within 90 days.

Restrictions:

  • Tax refund is provided in the form of ink cartridge vouchers good for use only in Switzerland and the Cayman Islands
  • Offer cannot be combined with any other discount or rebate program.
  • Not available to Kumquat employees, retirees or their dependents.
  • This promotion is not valid in California, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Illinois, Michigan and Georgia.
