(AYM) pump products will be in effect. AYM has been building a brand of strong recognition and a high perceived value since 1856. By not adhering to the established Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) a reseller can have a dramatic effect of diminishing or detracting from the perceived value of the AY McDonald brand and its products. The internet, with its worldwide impact, has the possibility to cause great harm to any companies’ products, if they are advertised at prices that will eliminate any legitimate retail competition. Our MAP pricing policy is intended for consumers to purchase from other resellers based on loyalty and customer care expectations. Therefore, if AYM agrees to allow your company to sell its products, you will need to agree and abide by the following requirements and restrictions. The MAP policy shall work under the following guidelines: 1) The Minimum Advertised Price for any AYM pump products shall not be less than the allotted percentage below the current list price as published on the AYM List Price Sheet. MAP pricing is established by AYM and may be adjusted by AYM at its sole discretion, at which time such adjustments are to take effect immediately. For the exact percentage, reference the MAP policy/ agreement letter, contact your Territory Manager, or call Customer Service at 1-800-292-2737. 2) The MAP policy applies to all advertisements of AYM products in any and all media, including, but not limited to, flyers, posters, coupons, mailers, inserts, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, mail order catalogs, Internet or similar electronic media, television, radio, and public signage. 3) The MAP policy is not applicable to: 1) Any in-store advertising that is displayed only in the store and not distributed to any customer(s) outside of their store. 2) Any email newsletters sent to your customer database. 4) The inclusion in advertising of free or discounted products (whether made by AYM or another manufacturer) with a product covered by the MAP policy would be contrary to the policy if it has the effect of discounting the advertised price of the covered product below the MAP. 5) If pricing is displayed in other than a brick and mortar retail store, any strike-through or other alteration of the Minimum Advertised Price is prohibited. 6) MAP applies only to advertised prices and does not apply to the price at which the products are actually sold or offered for sale to an individual consumer within the dealer’s retail location or over the telephone. AYM dealers and sales representatives remain free to sell these products at any price they choose. 7) MAP does not establish maximum advertised prices. All dealers and sales representatives may offer AYM products at any price in excess of the MAP. 8) AYM’s MAP policy does not in any way limit the ability of any dealer to advertise that “they have the lowest prices” or, they “will meet or beat any competitors price”, that consumers should “call for a price” or phrases of similar import as long as the price advertised or listed for the products is not less than MAP. 9) Dealer agrees to hold all trademarks and copyrights of AY McDonald as the property of AY McDonald and use advertising materials provided by AY McDonald in an authorized manner only. 10) Intentional or repeated failure to abide by this policy will result in termination of distribution or sales representatives. AYM does not intend to do business with distributors or wholesalers who degrade the image of AYM and its products. It is AYM’s sole discretion whether or not to provide prior notice or issue warnings before taking any action under this policy. 11) E-Bay and Other Auction Web Sites Policy: -"Buy it Now” options must be listed at a price equal to MAP or greater. -For auctions the reserve and/or opening bids must start at MAP without a “Buy it Now” option. -Best Offer Auctions Are Not Allowed 12) Negotiated Contracts: From time to time it may be explicitly approved by A.Y. McDonald Mfg. in writing to advertise certain AYM products at below MAP pricing. The discount amount and length of time will be determined at the time of this approved promotion by A.Y. McDonald Mfg. 13) AYM may run a sale from time to time and in such case the MAP will be the same as the sale price on those particular items and on those particular dates. AYM will send out a notice in advance with details of the special.
