We are updating the brands listed weekly.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #a6192e;\"><strong>Self-serve brands \u2013 a change for some existing pro deals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Among the products listed on the pro deals page, some now have an asterisk beside their name. This represents a brand that has a self-serve process for accessing the pro deal. The brand administers its own pro deal program independent of the CSP. The CSP has no input or authority on how the programs are run by the provider.<\/p>\n<p>As a courtesy only, the pro deals team is providing information on how to access the pro deal. Some brands with which we had traditional partnerships have shifted to this self-service model to better meet their needs.<\/p>\n<p>The CSP cannot guarantee acceptance to these self-serve programs.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #a6192e;\"><strong>New partnership coming soon<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We are currently in negotiations with an industry partner that will include many new brands for CSP members. This expansion is part of the CSP\u2019s pro deal program refresh. Keep an eye on the member monthly newsletter for more details as they become available.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #a6192e;\"><strong>Pro deal etiquette<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>All CSP members must respect the terms and conditions outlined by each brand we list on our website. Unless otherwise stated, all pro deal offers are meant for personal use only. Pro deals must not be shared with others outside of the CSP, including members\u2019 family or friends.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, when communicating with any of the pro deal brands listed on our member website, professionalism and respectfulness is required and expected, per our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/sites\/www.skipatrol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/11\/Mutual-Respect-Policy-2018-11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mutual respect policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#8c0014;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#a6192e;border-color:#ffe5fa;color:#ffffff;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">All of the brand offers listed on the member website are a privilege of membership for CSP members.
