R.S.V.P. International, Inc. Sales and Advertising Policy
We appreciate the effort and expense that is associated with the sale of any R.S.V.P. product whether this occurs at a brick and mortar establishment or on the internet. However, nothing is more destructive to a company’s brand than downward advertised prices. Advertising with respect to the Internet refers to all information regarding R.S.V.P. product on an Internet website, other than pricing associated with an intent to purchase (added to shopping cart or order). Internet advertising includes search engine advertising, banners, shopping engines and on an Internet Retailer’s home and product pages (including pop-up ads) that include information about R.S.V.P. product. Therefore, we established a sales and advertising policy to continue to grow the value of our brand.
We continually review our accounts with respect to advertised pricing and to verify that only our authorized customers are actually selling our product and using our copyrighted artwork. The following represents specific points as reflected in this Policy:
Unless you and R.S.V.P. have separately agreed in writing, you agree to sell all R.S.V.P. product purchased only to retail end user customers and not for resale, and only at the specified locations/websites listed below and approved in writing from R.S.V.P.
· You agree to sell R.S.V.P. product only under your corporate name or your commonly established trade name, e.g. no resale under a new DBA or other fictitious name unless approved in writing by R.S.V.P.
· You understand our policy that R.S.V.P. products are to be advertised at no less than $.05 below the established MAP which we believe allows an advertised price that makes good retail sense.
· You agree not to facilitate any third party retailer or wholesaler to sell R.S.V.P. product on or through your website, and if you are authorized to sell our product through your website, not to do outsource fulfillment for others of R.S.V.P. product.
· You agree not to sell any R.S.V.P. product on Amazon.com or through eBay or any other internet auction site, or through a co-op or group sale, without our prior written approval.
