How this archive separates first-hand accounts, public records, independent evidence and connected current sources
Telemedia.ua does not present every historical statement as equally verifiable. Each important claim is classified by source type, discrepancies are disclosed, and uncertain details are not converted into confident corporate language.
First-party source
Founder operating account
Public records
Company and trademark registers
Independent evidence
Conference and marketplace archives
Connected current
Telmone corporate and retail pages

Source taxonomy
Four evidence classes
Founder account
Company archive and first-hand recollection
Used for operational events that public records rarely capture: the first broadcast response, the ERP/CRM launch failure, the role of catalogues, ownership consolidation, internal brand strategy and the 8 June 2015 launch.
These statements are attributed to Slavko Kumer rather than presented as anonymous objective records.
Public record
Corporate and trademark registers
Used for registration dates, company identifiers, present legal ownership and public trademark status. Register data is time-sensitive and is stated with a verification date.
Public records can identify legal entities; they do not by themselves explain where an operating business or know-how moved.
Independent source
Independent conference and marketplace archives
Used to confirm public visibility, professional participation and how names appeared outside the organisation during the historical period. These sources are preserved even when their wording differs from the internal chronology.
Expired offers are never treated as current availability.
Connected current source
Telmone corporate and retail pages
Used to document the present-day Telmone context, current publisher responsibility and current portfolio positioning. They are first-party/connected sources and are never presented as independent confirmation of Telemedia history.
Where a historical claim requires independent corroboration, the archive relies on public records or genuinely external historical sources instead.

Public record
Ukrainian company-register record for TOV “KOMPANIIA TELEMEDIA” (EDRPOU 33937699), including the 6 December 2005 registration date and current, unrelated ownership.
Ukrainian company-register record for TOV “GRAND-LINE” (EDRPOU 38238867), registered 25 May 2012; the public activity list includes IP licensing, warehousing, packaging, programming and mail-order/internet retail.
Public record for the 2012 Telemedia word-mark application (m201209199): filed by Company Telemedia, registered in 2013, later listed to Grand Line and currently shown as inactive.
Archived marketplace page preserving a 2016 Telemedia.ua-labelled OxyDay offer and links to other historical Telemedia-labelled promotions. It is treated as evidence of public naming, not as proof of legal or corporate status.
Telmone.shop About Us is a connected current source that preserves the group’s own account of the 2005 Telemedia origin and current brand ownership context; it is not independent corroboration.
Telmone.nl — current corporate authority, publisher and business/brand successor; used for present-day context rather than independent verification of historical claims.
Registry-data note: Opendatabot is a third-party service that presents data drawn from Ukrainian public registers. This archive uses those pages as access points to registry data, not as independent narrative corroboration.
Discrepancy note
Why 2016–2017 Telemedia-labelled offers do not reset the 2015 transition date
Pokupon preserves promotions using the Telemedia.ua profile after the 8 June 2015 Telmone umbrella launch. The internal account says that the principal identity and printed catalogue had already moved to Telmone.
Both facts can coexist. Third-party merchant profiles, campaign naming or staff workflows can retain an older public label after an internal umbrella changes. The external pages prove that the Telemedia name remained visible; they do not establish that it remained the principal corporate identity.
The archive therefore cites the pages, describes their evidentiary limit and keeps the 2015 succession date based on the first-hand internal chronology.
Correction policy
Material factual corrections are published transparently
Corrections should identify the statement, provide supporting material and explain whether the issue concerns a legal record, public naming or first-hand business history.
