Fanvil reserves the right to modify the list of MAP Media and will provide notice to Customers. Fanvil will specify the MAP Products covered by this Policy, in communications "Product Price List" given to Customers.
3. Enforcement by Fanvil; Rights of Customers
In order to comply with the MAP Policy, a Customer's advertised prices for a MAP Product advertised in MAP Media must be no less than the MAP specified by Fanvil, as set forth in the Product Price List.
Customers who purchase Fanvil's MAP Products are free to set resale prices at any level they desire, and advertise and sell those products at whatever price they deem appropriate. If a Customer, however, fails to comply with the MAP Policy as to any MAP Product, Fanvil may enforce the remedies set forth in each of the respective Appendices.
4. Other Terms:
4.1 To establish compliance with this MAP policy, Fanvil may review Customers' advertisements from time to time, and may retain other companies to conduct such reviews, without notice to Customers. Fanvil will administer the MAP policy as the sole arbiter of any interpretations of the policy, and Fanvil's decisions will be final. Customers may seek clarification from Fanvil, but may not appeal any decision by Fanvil, with respect to either the MAP policy or advertising cost reimbursements related thereto.
4.2 In addition to this limitation on advertised pricing, this Policy also applies to any activity which Fanvil determines, in its sole discretion, is designed or intended to circumvent the intent of this Policy, such as solicitations for 'group purchases' and the like.
4.3 Internet-based sales only:
(a) It is a violation of this MAP policy if a Customer uses website features, such as "click for price," automated "bounce-back" pricing e-mails, pre-formatted e-mail responses, forms, automatic price displays for any items to advertise a MAP Product at less than the MAP prior to final "Click to Order/Buy" process.
(b) Pricing information displayed for potential customers within a personal sign-in account with a customer site toward making a purchase during payment process are not considered advertisements for purposes of this policy.
4.4 An advertisement by a reseller of MAP Products that it has "the lowest prices" or will match or beat its competitors' prices, or the use by such reseller of similar phrases is not a violation of this Policy so long as the reseller does not include any advertised price below MAP and otherwise complies with this Policy. In addition, it is not a violation of this Policy to advertise that a customer may "call for price" or "email for price," or to use similar language, so long as no price lower than the MAP is advertised.
5. Treatment of Rebates, Gift Cards and Free Gifts
In the event Fanvil runs a price promotion applicable to a Customer on any of the Fanvil products covered by the MAP Policy, such customer may during the promotional period, reflect the promotional price displayed in MAP media for the timeframe the promotion is sponsored by Fanvil, provided all other guidelines of the sponsored promotion are followed.
5.1 Treatment of Rebates:
(a) Customer rebates: If a Customer advertises, on MAP Media, its own rebate on a MAP
Product, the advertised price after such rebate must be no less than MAP, in order to comply with the MAP Policy. It does not matter whether the net price is disclosed in the advertising or not. For example, in the case of a MAP Product with a $49.95 MAP, if the Customer advertises the Product at $54.95 together with a $5.00 rebate (i.e., a $49.95 advertised net price), the advertisement may indicate either (i) the $49.95 advertised net price or (ii) the $54.95 advertised price together with the $5.00 rebate, and will comply with the MAP Policy. If the Customer advertises the MAP Product at $49.95 with a $5.00 rebate (i.e., a $44.95 advertised net price), that would be a MAP violation.
(b) Fanvil rebates: If Fanvil on a MAP Product sponsors a rebate, and if the price advertised by the Customer on MAP Media, before giving effect to the Fanvil-sponsored rebate, is no less than the MAP, then there is no MAP Policy violation.
5.2 A Customer's advertised prices for a product will not violate the MAP Policy if (1) the Customer uses a pricing convention consistently across its entire line of similar products, and that pricing convention is the cause of the MAP violation; and (2) the Customer's advertised price is no more than $2.00 less than the recommended MAP for that product.
Example: If the Customer's pricing convention is that all its advertised prices, for products similar to the MAP product, will end in "$.37" (such as $38.37, $49.37, etc.), and if the recommended MAP for a product is $49.95, then that Customer may advertise the product at $48.37 without a MAP violation, but it would be a MAP violation if the Customer advertised the product at $47.37 (this is more than $2.00 below MAP) or at $49.30 (this is not priced according to the pricing convention).
5.3 Bundling or selling one or more MAP Products with or as part of a package that includes non-Fanvil products is a violation of this Policy, regardless of the advertised price. Bundling a MAP Product with another Fanvil product is a violation only if the bundled advertised price is less than the total of the MAP's of all the products in the bundle.
(a) If a SIP business product is bundled by a SIP service provider and sold as a together a bundled package, this will not be considered a MAP Policy under this policy.
5.4 If a single advertisement violates this MAP policy with respect to more than one MAP Product, Fanvil will enforce the foregoing remedies separately for each such Product.
5.5 If a Customer with multiple store locations violates this Policy at any particular store location, it shall be a violation with respect to all of the Customer’s locations.
5.6 In addition to the remedies outlined in the attached appendices, Fanvil, in its discretion, reserves the right to discontinue sales in whole or in part to any Customer which violates the MAP Policy.
6. Right to Modify, Amend or Cancel the MAP Policy
Fanvil reserves the right to modify, amend or cancel this Policy or any aspect of it (including temporarily suspending, in its discretion, MAPs for certain products), upon providing written notice to Customers.
7. Contact Information: All questions or comments regarding this Policy should be directed to:[email protected].
