Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy
In recognition of the time and resources required by wineGrasp® Retailers, Resellers, and Distributors to provide its customers with an exceptional level of service, wineGrasp has established the following Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy. The MAP Policy does not apply to the actual setting of prices; it only applies to the advertised prices of wineGrasp products.
The wineGrasp Company believes this Policy will protect its brand image and goodwill as well as the profitability of its Retailers, Resellers, and Distributors. This Policy has been unilaterally adopted and will be enforced strictly and uniformly.
All advertised prices for wineGrasp products must be at or above the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) as indicated on all wineGrasp Price Sheets. The current year 2022, MAP pricing is established at $9.99 per Single and $19.99 per Set. This MAP Policy covers any and all advertisements, including, but not limited to those in:
- Print media such as newspapers, magazines, catalogs, brochures, posters, flyers, public signage, and billboards.
- Television, radio, email, and electronic media (including social media).
- Internet websites which can be accessed directly through any hypertext link or by any other method which uses the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP).
In addition, at no time may a Retailer, Reseller or Distributor make any statements or other indications on its e-commerce website in connection with any wineGrasp product that indicates or implies that a lower price may be found at the online checkout stage, including but not limited to, the following examples:
- "Provide an email address for discount."
- "Provide Review for discount."
- "Log in for price."
- "Call for discount."
The wineGrasp MAP Policy does allow for discount sales promotions by our Retailers, Resellers, and Distributors with the following limitations:
- Sales promotions may last no longer than 30-Days.
- Discounted sale price may be no more than 10% off of MAP Pricing ($8.99 for Singles and $17.99 for Sets).
- Sales promotions cannot be offered more than twice (2-times) per calendar year.
- Used Products may be advertised below the MAP if the Retailer, Reseller, or Distributor clearly and prominently discloses the Product's condition (i.e., the Product may not be designated as new).
The wineGrasp® Company will monitor the advertised prices of its Products in all channels, either directly or via the use of a third-party monitoring service. If a Retailer, Reseller, or Distributor's advertised price for any wineGrasp Products is lower than the MAP, the following actions will be taken:
- First Violation: The wineGrasp® Company will issue a warning to the Retailer, Reseller, or Distributor. wineGrasp may also, at its own discretion and without any liability under any existing contracts or agreements, cease supplying the Retailer, Reseller, or Distributor with its Products until the Violation has been corrected.
- Second Violation: wineGrasp Company will issue a 2nd warning to the Retailer, Reseller, or Distributor. wineGrasp may terminate the Retailer's, Reseller's, or Distributor's ability to purchase its Products immediately at its own discretion and without liability under any existing contracts or agreements.
The wineGrasp® Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue this MAP Policy in whole or in part at any time. This MAP Policy does not preclude wineGrasp from becoming a party to a mutually agreed upon written agreement with any Retailer, Reseller, or Distributor. This wineGrasp MAP Policy shall remain in effect unless wineGrasp amends, replaces, or terminates it.
Any International sales must reflect wineGrasp MAP pricing as translated from International currency exchange to US Dollars.
